Money Smart for ages 8–14
Money habits form early, and school rarely teaches them. In three sessions your child learns the difference between needs and wants, splits pocket money into save, spend and share jars, compares prices like a smart shopper, and sees how saving grows over time. They leave with a savings goal and a plan to reach it.
A personal budget, a savings goal with a date, and three money jars of their own
How 3 sessions get there
Each session is 60 minutes, live, and builds on the last. Your child is doing something for most of it.
Sort real items into needs and wants, then set up the save, spend and share jars from the kit.
Compare prices per gram on real grocery packs, spot 'buy one get one' traps, and plan a party on a budget.
Interest explained with a simple table: how ₹100 a month grows. Each child sets a savings goal with a date.
What's in the Money Jar Kit
Everything your child needs for the sessions arrives in one box before session 1, and all of it is theirs to keep.
- Three clear jars labelled Save, Spend and Share
- Play-money pack in rupee notes and coins
- Budget planner pad
- Savings goal chart
- Shopping game cards
Live with a coach, hands on the kit
Here is session 2. The coach shows one idea, the children try it straight away with the kit, and they hold their work up to the camera for feedback.
What your family needs to know
You'll need
- Two or three grocery packs from the kitchen for session 2
