Working for money.
Why are we talking about this?
Lots of people think that children
getting pocket money teaches
them how to save and look after
their money, especially when they
need to do chores to earn it, like
tidying up or helping with shopping!
However, other people think
that children are too young to
look after money, and it’s
better to leave it to the adults!
This week, we’ll be asking you
what you think. Remember to
log your vote at the end!

How could you earn it?
If your parent or carer decides to give you pocket money, it is
important to decide an amount that you both agree on.
One way that families
choose to do this is by
creating a list of chores
that they would like
young people to do,
and pay their children
for each of these jobs.

Our family jobs list:
Set the table for dinner: 5 minutes’
screen time
Put washing away: an extra snack
Help tidy up: choose a family movie
Hoover the stairs: chips for dinner
Wash a car: go to the park for an hour
Not all families want to
give their children
pocket money. Instead,
children can earn treats
by doing jobs!
For example, children
might earn extra time on
their games consoles, or
an ice cream at the end
of the week.

On the next few slides, can you
help these young people decide
whether to spend or save their
money?
If you think they should
spend, open yours arms up!
If you think they should
save, fold your arms!
Many people think that pocket money teaches young people
how to save money. But how good are you at knowing when to
spend and when to save?
