Talk Money Week – A free resource for financial wellbeing

Our free lesson plans use the story to explore the following objectives:

I can tell you how to save for something I would like to buy, including alternative ways to get something we want.

I can tell you how I show respect to other people’s interests

These objectives help children to understand the importance of saving and the value of items we want to buy, as well as the reasons why it is important to support each other’s interests. Our unique S.T.O.R.Y structure to lessons, ensure learning is engaging and easy to implement.
