Teaching kids about cash

Available for over a year

Kids will undoubtedly be hearing lots of chat about the difficult financial times we’re in. So how do we start constructive conversations with them about money without causing worry? Kim and Eileen hear from primary teachers Nuzhat Uthmani and Blair Minchin about what schools are doing to teach kids about finance – from identifying coins to discussing bills. Mrs Mackay’s class in Glasgow invited us in to one of their lessons to find out more. Plus Kim and Eileen explore different ways to give children opportunities to manage their spending if pocket money isn’t an option.
