You could teach them how to save up money to buy their fav things. I remember I bought the battlepass just by playing and didn't have to spend real money. You can buy next battlepass with the bp vbucks.

I'm no longer a kid but I really liked the casual aspect of it unlike games like cs, rl, etc.

It used to be nice, but then they created 4 different kind of passes, and you have to buy them everytime, that is, you don't earn in-game currency from them.

You earn vbucks from the battle royale pass and it gives 500 more vbucks back than it costs.

The other passes have a free tier but if you don’t race cars, play the rhythm games, or do the Lego survival mode then you don’t need the others.

We absolutely do! I gave one kid the Smash Brothers DLC with Steve for a birthday gift, and the other one asked if there was another and ended up buying the other DLC with their own money. One kid bought a bunch of Lego sets one year.

They get money from chores, extra jobs, and occasionally selling stuff (lemonade, hot coco, etc).

It's working pretty well so far.

This season/chapter the battle pass gives 1500 vbucks so you can get the next pass plus an emote every season
