The Financial Game Plan for Kids

We believe financial confidence starts early and Colorado’s standards give us the perfect roadmap. Our stories, activities, and hands-on tools make money lessons easy to understand and fun to apply.

Here’s how we meet the standards:

  • Grade 3: Students create a plan to reach short-term goals, compare income and expenses, and explore different ways to earn money.

  • Grade 4: Students learn to plan how to spend, save, and share, while discussing ways to earn or receive money.

  • Grade 5: Students explore how banks and credit unions work, the difference between saving and investing, and how to track spending and saving habits.

Your students won’t just meet the standards, they’ll build lifelong money skills that grow right alongside them.

The Financial Game Plan for Teens

We know teens are building habits that will shape their financial futures and Colorado’s standards ensure they have the tools to succeed. Our curriculum blends real-world money skills with engaging activities, helping students see the “why” behind every smart money move.

Here’s how we meet the standards:

  • SS.HS.5.1: Students learn how to use reliable information to make financial decisions rooted in their personal values and goals.

  • SS.HS.5.2: They explore how education, training, and career choices impact lifetime earning potential.

  • SS.HS.5.3: They apply budgeting, spending, saving, and borrowing skills to real-life scenarios.

  • SS.HS.5.4: They examine diversified investment strategies that align with personal financial goals.

  • SS.HS.5.5: They identify risk management strategies to protect against financial loss, property damage, health issues, or identity theft.

Teens graduate with the confidence and skills to make sound financial decisions now and for the rest of their lives.
