As this time calls for hours spent indoors, it\u2019s the perfect time to teach your kids about money. Mint<\/a>\u2019s created five fun and free printables<\/a> to get the \u201cmoney\u201d conversation going, 42 free resources to teach your kids during this season spent at home, and quick tips for each age group. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Expose them to money and how it\u2019s earned<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Start out your money talk even when you\u2019re kids are in first grade. Print out our printable, have your kids cut out each coin and match it up with the correct drawn out name. Not only will they feel like a real winner once they\u2019ve made all the right matches, they\u2019ll know which coins are which when you\u2019re out running errands paying with money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Make money management a fun game<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As the weather starts to get warmer, turn money management into a game everyone will want to play. Head to the store and buy all the right ingredients to make the perfect batch of lemonade. Print out our printable and set up lemonade stand with a menu of all your prices. Have your kids handle all the money exchanges and put their coin knowledge to the test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Help your kids build their dream career <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you\u2019re wanting to achieve what seems to be the unachievable, it\u2019s important to set and work towards goals. Print out our goal setting sheet to see what goals your family should start conquering. Whether that may be to play basketball at least once a week, or saving enough to buy that next big toy, encourage your kids to set goals early on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Put your kids in charge of grocery shopping <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Really put your kids to the test, and have them participate in your family’s weekly grocery shopping. Print out our grocery shopping list and have your kids write out all the ingredients you will need. Along with that, have them factor in how much you think you will spend on each item. Once you\u2019re back home from the store, compare how much you thought you\u2019d spend and how much you actually did as a family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Help them establish a millionaire mindset <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s nothing better than sitting down and brainstorming your biggest goals. Print out our business plan printable, sit your kids down, and set the timer. Have them rush to build their best business idea in 10-15 minutes. Whichever business pitch has the best idea and presentation may just win a special prize. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Teach investment and credit tools for success <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now, it\u2019s time to start saving. Whether this is the time you\u2019re thinking about going to college or getting your first apartment, you may need some extra cash in the bank to get you there. Start taking up some extra chores around the house, or get a job and play our savings game to reach your goal amount! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
