First Time Ever – Buying with Cash
It’s book fair at school. In order to maximize kids’ fun and learn about responsibility and values, I decided to do something different this year.
I gave them 20 dollars each, and let them buy their own books of choices. Of course, I pre-selected a pool of books, and marked the prices for each.
Kids are super happy of course, first time they get cash. I gave them each a ziplock bag, so they put their names and class on the bag, and stapled the bag to their book list..
By the end of the day, they came home with 3 books each, and the change and receipt in the same Ziploc bags. Thanks to the lovely volunteers at book fair, kids had a blast! Change went straight into their piggy bank.
It was a wonderful idea (padding my own shoulders), kids learned the value of money, bought their books of choice and we supported their school.
