Personal finance tips
Financial literacy is becoming more and more important for
students as it becomes a statutory part of the curriculum. You are
in a perfect position to use your first hand knowledge and
experience of dealing with money to help students come to grips
with the concepts. Even if you are not playing games with specific
financial themes - using money as a context may help you to explain
trickier ideas. More information on financial literacy in the
curriculum can be found in 'About
education'.
- Use anecdotes
- Share news stories to give a real context to problems
- Play some of the more complex games over the course of more
than one session
