In this lesson, participants will begin by completing a money scavenger hunt to create excitement about saving money. Throughout the lesson, the children’s book A Chair for My Mother can be read to reinforce the concept that people may have to save money to obtain certain items. To create a visual of the concept of compounding interest the Time Value of Money Magic Active Learning Tool can be completed.
