Grades 4 and up
Introduction To Financial Literacy
Introduction To Financial Literacy (Grades 4 and up). We are proud to be one of Canada's first financial literacy workshops for children: making financial literacy fun!
Learning about money can be fun. Playing financial games in the classroom is our recipe for confident, financially fit kids who are prepared with the tools and information they need to powerfully create their own future.
We begin by helping students get in touch with their best future selves. By connecting inner values, career thinking, intelligent spending, charity, and investing, we help children build the mindset and money habits that support lifelong success.

- Differentiating between needs vs wants
- Setting future goals
- Explain the importance of saving and discuss why we save
- Introduce the concepts of expenses, taxes and charitable giving
- Discuss the power of the desire to shop: instant vs delayed gratification
