Economics for kids in kindergarten and primary school


Practical saving skills at home

At home, in the parental environment, you can connect the child to practical life.

For example, entrusting small purchases in a store. To begin with, it could be a simple product with a fixed price. A certain type of bread, milk, grocery line of goods. In the future, you can move on to the child’s independent choice of fruits, vegetables, meat, dairy products, and household chemicals. Only through practical means can he learn to choose the best products in terms of price and quality. And also get an idea of ​​the conceptual scale of “expensive-cheap”. At first, try to go shopping together and in each case justify your choice of product or product.

Teach your child to understand bills for electricity, water, and understand the dependence of numbers on thrift in consumption.

Develop the habit of counting your change, even if it’s just about buying a toy, a bun, or a chocolate bar.

Good old home games will also be useful. With the little ones - to the store, pharmacy, cafe, hairdresser. For older kids, nothing better than “monopoly” has yet been invented, try it, sometimes adults get interested too.

Using clear examples, tell the children where this or that product comes from, what it is made from, and how the source material is obtained. How much effort does it take to earn money to buy it?

What will this knowledge give as a result?

Involving a child in the everyday economic environment, taking into account age-related characteristics, will eliminate the barriers that previously arose for those starting to study economics as a new subject already in high school.

Some “advanced” children, already at the age of 8-9, are able to look for goods on their own and on instructions from their parents. So that they are optimal in price and quality. This is especially noticeable when searching in online stores and delivery services.

And, in any case, the children will become much more responsible and adapted to adult, independent life after graduating from school.

Tatyana Popova “Magic ATM. Children about economics"

Tatyana Popova (PhD in Economics, just a moment) writes in her book about twins, Katya and Seryozha, who were transported by a magical ATM to Miracle Island. On the island, schoolchildren observe how the aborigines establish commodity-money relations, how local residents learn to develop businesses and increase their wealth.

“The book contains tasks for young readers: riddles and games of ingenuity. Children not only observe the plot from the outside, but also make interesting discoveries as participants in the events. An ATM is like a refrigerator! To take ice cream, or sausage, or juice from the refrigerator, you must first put them there. If you don’t put it down, there will be nothing to take!”

Let's repeat this word - need. The teacher takes out a basket.
Teacher: Tell me, what else do you need? What do we need for life? (Children call). — Here we have a wonderful basket - a consumer basket. Where all our needs are hidden.

And so that there are various household items in the house (toys, furniture, etc.). “And there are also spiritual needs.” Which? If the children don't answer. Teacher: I suggest you play a game of silence. Corollas, corollas The bells flew through the fresh dew, along the alien strip, they collected nuts, honey, sugar - silence! The children sit, remain silent, and gradually begin to get distracted and talk.
Teacher: Guys, is it really difficult to remain silent for a long time when there are so many friends nearby?!
This is called the need for communication. - Let's play with you some more. Game "Sunshine". Music on the slide. Children walk in a circle to calm music.
Everyone has rays of warmth (ribbons) in their hands. The teacher notices: “Look, our Andrei is frozen!”
We need to warm it up! The “frozen” person is seated in the center of the circle on a chair. Each child brings his own “ray” and says what he likes about the “frozen” one. The one who is “warmed” thanks and says “Thank you.” - Every person needs care and love. Who cares about you the most? (mom, dad) What should we call you all together: dad, mom and you?

A didactic game “Everyone has different needs” is being played. The teacher lays out the “family budget” puzzle on the board.

(No.) - How would you distribute the family budget? What should you spend on first? (Payment for an apartment, food, clothing, payment for kindergarten, toys...) Teacher: All together these are called expenses! Let's repeat this word together - expenses. I suggest you look at the screen. Slide "Expenses".
