Content
A financial education programme designed to help set positive money habits and mindsets from an early age.
Our expert trainers deliver live and secure online lessons to your school as pupils complete activities in class. This is combined with teacher resources and family challenges. All materials are sent in advance.
Our unique and engaging activities will teach pupils how to become informed consumers, savvy savers, and mindful spenders by bringing money to life and making finance fun.
Sessions cover:
- Assembly: An introductory video to different money mindsets and the consequences of everyday spending and saving.
- My Money: Looking at how and where we get money, forms of payment and different bank accounts.
- My Choices: Making decisions, delaying gratification, needs versus wants and understanding that money is finite.
- My Future: Understanding why people save, money goals and how setting positive money habits now helps in the future.
Virtual Money Twist involves writing, drawing, maths and problem-solving. We use videos and MyBnk Manga comics to engage students so they can remember new knowledge and form their own opinions. Underpinning behaviour change is the development of executive functions.
Virtual Money Twist KS2 references the UK’s Financial Education Planning Framework for teachers. A direct in-person and online version is also available.
Virtual Money Twist is partially funded by Kickstart Money via The Centre for Financial Capability.
