Bank of Kid
Managing money—minus the Bank of Mum and Dad. Because learning about the value of money is something we should feel more comfy talking about.
From a handout to a hand up
Got a primary schooler? We’ve created some activity sheets to help them unpack simple money concepts over the holiday break. You'll get these, and a separate parent’s guide with handy explainers, emailed straight to you.
Risk Roll
Simulate the ups and downs of the share market with the roll of a dice to help your kid connect their risk appetite to share performance.
Egg Hunt
Get your kid up to speed on all things wealth creation by finding the eggs and filling in the blanks to spell key financial terms..
Early bird
How far can $5 go? Show your kid the impact that compounding interest can have over a lifetime.
Pocket to plan
Start off with this pocket money template that can be printed (or penned!) that helps demonstrate the different uses pocket money can have—beyond (or perhaps as well as) a trip to the toy shop.
Save to spend
Whether it’s a short or long-term savings goal, and no matter what it’s for, this activity is aimed at helping kids reflect on what they deem worthy of their precious savings.
Track to crack
This is a super simple way to help your kids track the ups and downs of the companies that interest them and decide whether those chickens could hatch, way down the track. 🐣
Finding their financial footing
Getting kids thinking about how they spend their money is a great way to spend some spare time. Plus, it doesn’t pay to be short on things to do in the school holidays! And if you don’t have a printer handy? No stress. Our activity sheets can be easily penned on paper as well—so no one misses out.
