Introduction to 'Decisions, decisions!'

This session will help children explore their feelings and emotions relating to money. They will consider the difference between needs and wants, and how these make them feel. They'll learn how their spending is linked to what they need and want, and begin to look at tools to help them save for things they want but cannot afford in the moment.

What you'll learn

  • Spending decisions may be influenced by others.
  • We can prioritise needs and wants to make spending decisions.
  • How to plan saving and spending using simple records.
