Children will explore household budgeting through Billy and his family. They will have the opportunity to find out the important role that money plays in our every-day lives, including the things people need to spend money on and will see how people plan and manage household budgets.

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 expert level activity – this level suits children who have a good level of financial education understanding and are ready to start developing their skills and knowledge further.
