Questions about the Saving and Spending poster

What’s on the Saving and Spending poster?

4 numbered steps, with a full worked run-through. Every coin you get can go to one of three places. Decide before you are standing in the shop. SPEND — Something small you want now. Fine — as long as it is a choice.; SAVE — Put it aside for something bigger. It takes patience and it works.; GIVE — Share some with someone who needs it more.; DECIDE FIRST — Split it the moment you get it, not once you are in the shop.. The thing you want in the shop always feels bigger than the thing you are saving for. It rarely is.

Who is the Saving and Spending poster for?

Saving and Spending is filed under 2nd Grade (ages 7–8), so it matches what that year asks a child to remember. It is equally useful to an older student revisiting life skills, and to the parent or teacher answering the question at the kitchen table.

When should you use the Saving and Spending poster?

Give a small amount weekly and let them choose. The choice is the lesson. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Saving and Spending belongs on the wall where that life skills work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
