Content
A highly interactive teacher-led financial education programme designed to help set positive money habits and mind-sets from an early age.
Complemented by online Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and a suite of downloadable resources and lesson plans.
Designed by experts and young people, activities, including games and role play, teach children to understand delayed gratification and set money goals by making saving and spending decisions and gaining rewards.
This package of support aims to forge and encourage positive money behaviours. Research shows lifelong money habits can be formed by age 7.
Sessions cover:
- Where Money Comes From: Earning money and why we use it.
- Practical Value: The value of notes and coins in the real world and the cost of everyday items.
- Going Shopping: Understanding needs and wants, making choices with money and resisting temptation when shopping.
- Keeping Track of Money: Why it is important to keep track of spending and how to do it.
- Saving: Understanding where to keep money and why it is important to save.
