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. The program culminates with the Money$mart, a game showcasing all of student's new skills, giving them the opportunity to practice concepts of Spend/Save/Share to be the first to make their money work for them.
This comprehensive program covers Colorado Social Studies/Economics Standard 3.5 and Social Studies/Economics/PFL Standard 3.6 for Grades 1 and 2.
