The Simulation
An Economy They Live Inside
Kids earn tokens for real jobs, divide their pay into three pots — Plant (Save), Pick (Spend), and Share (Give) — every payday, and shop at the Home Store. Every lesson teaches a concept the child immediately applies inside the economy that week. Before real money is on the line, they've already made dozens of real decisions.
Week by Week
Five Weeks. A Lifetime of Habits.
What Is Money?
Money comes from work that has value. Coins and bills. The 3 Pots introduced — Plant, Pick, Share. Economy launches.
Needs vs. Wants
The "could you live without it?" test. Sorting activity with picture cards. The Home Store menu built in secret.
Earning and Payday
The payday ritual — opening the envelope, counting tokens, dividing earnings. Save Goal Card posted.
Every Dollar Decides
Trade-off thinking. The Give conversation. Home Store opens — child shops from Pick pot only.
Money in the World
Real-world field trip — final payday — Give cause chosen — graduation celebration. Connecting the Family Economy to how the real world works.
