We are delighted to share our latest home school financial education programme: Family Money Twist – Years 3-6*.
This free online resource of videos, games and quizzes teaches 7-11 year olds the basics of money whilst setting positive money habits.
It is designed for direct use by children, with actionable ‘tell/ask/show your parent’ activities to prompt important conversations throughout the home. They can be introduced via families or a teachers’ adapted curriculum.
With nearly five million primary school aged pupils in the UK at home it is a unique opportunity for parents to tackle topics they often lack the time, confidence or skills to address. Research shows lifelong money habits can be formed by the age of 7.
*P4-6 in Scotland
We cover:
- Needs and Wants: Where money comes from, and understanding common needs and wants found in the home.
- How to Budget: Understanding the importance of budgeting, and creating a budget for bedroom decoration.
- Saving and Delayed Gratification: Exploring the concept of delayed gratification and creating personal saving goals.
The programme involves maths, art, drama and literacy skills. Children can choose a task that compliments their learning style, through age and ability, with our ‘Make it, Say it, or Write it’ options in each session.
We also offer an online Years 1-2** parent / teacher-led programme.
These digital products complement our Money Twist primary school offering, a series of sessions for both upper and lower Key Stage 2, delivered directly by our expert trainers.
Steve Korris, our Expansion & Impact Director tried it our Family Money Twist resources with his daughter, Matilda, 7:
“It’s provided a great platform to kick start money discussions at home. At school she has learnt coin recognition and maths sums, but nothing about how money works, value, income and savings. As a parent I really welcome the opportunity for her to learn more about money at home and from a younger age. She’s very inquisitive so will definitely be asking questions now we’ve got her started.”
MyBnk is re-imagining our award winning offering for 5-25 year olds, including live streams for young adults. We have also created a dedicated space on our website featuring service updates, Home Learning products and Free Resources as well as immediate support for young adults including guides and signposting.
In the meantime, we hope and your children enjoy!
