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 **intermediate** level activity – this level suits children who have some financial education knowledge and are beginning to understand simple financial concepts such as spending and saving.
