Summer is the perfect opportunity to teach kids valuable lessons—especially about money. With school out, you have time to blend fun activities with basic financial education.
Here are a few ideas to try:
- Lemonade Stands or Yard Sales: Teach basic business principles like costs, pricing, and profits.
- Allowance for Chores: Let kids earn money through age-appropriate tasks and teach them to save, spend, and share.
- Play “Grocery Store” or Budgeting Games: Have them help plan meals and shop with a set amount of money.
- Open a Youth Savings Account: Coosa Valley Credit Union offers savings accounts just for kids, helping them learn to manage money responsibly.
- Use Tech to Teach: Try kid-friendly money apps to introduce digital finance skills.
