Bank Junior
http://www.bankjr.com/
Bank Junior
The original idea for this website, Bankjr.com, came from a mother. She saw the need to teach her children what money is and how it works in our lives. In 1999, she suggested to her son, creative director at Zions Bank, that perhaps a website could be developed to make such information available to help teach kids in school.
Zions Bank wants students, their teachers and parents to appreciate money and make it their friend. They need to learn to use it and numbers in general with confidence. Neither numbers nor money will ever go away or our desire or need to use them.

Empower Children Through Financial Literacy (Podcast)
"The naysayers believed that children did not need to know about money matters, and that her cause was a wasted one.
Billimoria knew better. Leveraging her vast experience in pioneering social enterprises, she chose the most difficult countries and piloted her venture. After a staggering success in 11 nations, Aflatoun is set to cover more than one million children via a campaign run in over 75 countries by the year 2010."

Family and Money - fight over money (Video)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUNSOYwSOh8
Family and Money - fight over money (Video)
The story of money woes in a typical Chinese family.
This 10-minute movie on money shares with you the need for all of us to know the importance of how our family background affect the way we see and utilize money in our daily lives. Believe or not, the set of belief systems we grew up with, our life values, our expectations of people and life, and our family, relatives, friends and colleagues, all directly affect our concept of money.
Often, family communication is the biggest stumbling block. Ineffective communication – the spoken & unspoken words about money – often creates many misunderstandings, which you will see in this short movie. How can we then effectively deal with the money issues confronting us with our family on a daily basis? This is what the movie is about.

Financial Literacy
http://tinyurl.com/462tc4
Managing finances is something most people struggle with
This unit is going to build on work which students cover in their Mathmatics and Citizenship lessons, supported by the use of ICT.
By the end of the unit, students will understand such issues such as taxation, mortgages and insurance, understand how to manage finances, use a computer system to help them manage their money and make financial predictions and plans for the future.
The resources for the six lessons can be found on the lesson pages; ideally, teachers should source a computer room equipped with an interactive whiteboard.

Teen Cash Class
http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/attachment/teen_cash_guide.pdf
Teen Cash Class
In July 2007, the ITV1 Tonight programme gave me a challenge: take a class of ordinary teenagers for one day and turn them into junior Money Saving Experts.
It was a scary concept, and like nothing I’d tried before. Yet the results were astonishing: after class, the 12 pupils went home and saved their families a whopping £5,050!
This Teen Cash Class guide has been written using transcripts from those six hours’ filming and, hopefully, will allow anyone – teen and adult – to learn the same fundamentals and become true MoneySavers.
