Piggy Power! Piggynomics for Kids, is a dynamic program for early elementary students designed to instill a real-world understanding of basic economics and personal finance.
It's never too young to learn the Power of the Pig!
The program teaches young students about choices, scarcity, needs & wants, spend/save/share, budgeting, earning and the importance of cost-benefit analysis in making informed financial decisions. Hands-on activities and interactive lessons engage students to learn and practice good financial habits, now and in their future.
In-person programs: Elementary are typically 5 hours in length and can be spread across days and or weeks. We typically present the program in a 1-week format, one class period per day, but we are flexible and can modify content to meet your needs.
This comprehensive program covers Colorado Social Studies/Economics Standard 3.5 and Social Studies/Economics/PFL Standard 3.6 for Grades 1 and 2.
