BSL signed story: The Gift of Thrift

This activity follows on from *Super Stories for Money Heroes* and should be completed after reading the storybook, which is available in a variety of accessible formats (see related resources below).

Can you help children to understand how money is used and build on financial awareness in the home? Help children understand ways that people can work together to manage money at home and understand the options that people have.

This activity is part of our range of Money Heroes resources for children with special educational needs.

These resources have been adapted to be flexible for use in a range of settings and with children of varying abilities or special educational needs. Rather than using age groups or key stages, each activity has been given a difficulty level, based on children’s financial knowledge, skills and understanding. Practitioners should choose activities based on the financial capability level of the children they are working with.

This is an **advanced** level activity – this level suits children who are ready to start building on their financial education knowledge and basic understanding with more challenging thinking and development of skills.
