PBS reports that kids can grasp the concept of money as soon as age three. By age seven, they’re already forming money habits. That makes teaching financial literacy for young children especially important. No matter the socio-economic situation your child is born into, good money habits and confidence when it comes to those topics can change their entire financial future. 

These five activities teach kids things like basic counting skills, budgeting tactics, the time it takes to pay back loans, and how to build a good credit score. Whether your child is a preschooler or a teen learning about money, they’ll enjoy these games and real-life simulations. 

Printable Activity for Preschoolers

Start with the basics for your youngest ones. They’re likely just getting their feet wet when it comes to counting and being able to identify different values. This money matching printable combines both learned skills by having your little one draw a line to the coins and bills that match one another.

When talking to your youngsters about money, keep it simple. Some things you may want to bring up include:

  • The value of money: teach your kids that money doesn’t grow on trees, and it’s typically exchanged for goods or services. 
  • Wants versus needs: explain to your kids that we need to buy some things in life to survive, and other things are just things we want. There is a difference between wants and needs.
  • Basic saving: talk to your kids about saving for those “want” items. 

Printable Activity for Kids Ages 11-14

Once your kids start getting older, they’ll begin understanding more complex topics. The more you familiarize them with words associated with money, they more confident they’ll be to approach them in real-life situations. Print this credit score word seach and have them find each term related to credit scores. Once they find the word, instruct them to read its definition in the glossary.

Teach Good Money Habits

By tween and teen age, your kids are ready to have real conversations about financial topics. Don’t shy away from tough discussions and communicate with them when it comes to your financial mishaps and wins. They may be able to learn something from your conversations, and they’ll appreciate being treated like an adult.

#ad Picture yourself on campus! A college degree i #ad Picture yourself on campus! A college degree is not out of reach. If you have a dream, you can make it happen. I know from experience. I could not have gotten my degree without loans, grants, and scholarships. It all starts with completing your #FAFSA. And, don't think you make too much money to receive aid. Most people who complete the FAFSA receive some kind of aid! The sooner you complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, the better. Some states offer aid on a first come, first served basis.
