LifeSavers is a financial education programme for primary schools, helping children manage money wisely now and in the future.
These teaching materials have been designed to engage pupils in learning about money through the lens of four core values: generosity, wisdom, thankfulness and justice. It’s an approach that’s referred to as values-based financial education.
The Five Big Questions About Money are:
• Where does our money come from?
• How does money make us feel?
• What can we use our money for?
• How does our money help other people?
• How can we look after our money?
The questions have been designed to enable pupils to explore all the things we can do with our money – spend, save, give, lend, invest and borrow. The activities will enable children to acquire a range of financial skills and knowledge, whilst also exploring how the values of generosity, wisdom, thankfulness and justice can shape their attitudes to, and decisions about, money.
Each Big Question contains a series of activities that addresses its theme and offers homework and extension opportunities. Each activity takes approximately one hour to deliver.
