Question: Where does our money come from?
Listen, think, share
Most adults earn their money by working. As a child, we might get money for our birthday, be given pocket money or be paid for doing jobs at home. We can choose how we spend or save our money!
Activity 1:
Imagine you are allowed to choose one thing to buy. You can have anything you would like and it doesn’t matter how much it costs.
Activity 2: A money box is a place where we keep our money. It stores it until we are ready to spend it or put it somewhere else, like a bank account so we can continue to save.

- What is money? Can you name some of the coins and notes we use?
- Explain that money can be used to pay for things we might need or want. It isn’t just in coins and notes though. We can also write cheques or use cards. Have you ever seen anyone use a card at a cash point or on a chip and pin machine?
- We can’t always see the money that we spend. If we write a cheque or use a chip and pin machine the money comes directly out of our bank account. Do you have a bank account?
- Most people get their money through work. This is known as an income. Often, the money earned through work gets paid directly into your bank account so, again, we don’t actually see it!
- Look at resource 1, which shows how some children have received money. How did they get it? What did they do with their money?
- Have you ever received/earned some money? What did you do with it? Mia is saving up to buy a car when she is older. Have you ever worked really hard to save money to buy something you really wanted? How did it feel?
- Once people have earned their money, they can choose how they want to spend or save it e.g. pay for the house they live in, buy new clothes, go to the cinema.

Activity 1:
Imagine you are allowed to choose one thing to buy. You can have anything you would like and it doesn’t matter how much it costs.
- What would you buy?
- What does it look/feel/sound like?
- What does your item do?
- Why did you choose it?
- Did it take you a long time to decide what you would buy, or did you know straight away?
Activity 2: A money box is a place where we keep our money. It stores it until we are ready to spend it or put it somewhere else, like a bank account so we can continue to save.
- Do you have a money box, or have you seen one before?
- Will you have a coin slot?
- How will you get the money out of your money box?
- What colours, shapes, patterns will you use?
- Will you paint, draw or use cut and stick to create the design?
- What materials will you use? E.g. card, old containers or boxes?
Maths Booklets
These are really thick booklets I would suggest doing maybe 2 pages a day. So these would take a couple of weeks to complete.
