Financial Literacy Free Day Makes Spending and Saving Fun
Financial Literacy Free Day at the Building for Kids Children’s Museum (BFKCM) will teach families how to save and spend wisely, and have fun doing it! This free admission day on Sunday, March 31, from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. is sponsored by Money Smart Week Fox Cities and will offer math and financial programming, as well as the chance to explore the BFKCM.
“Through different games, we use real-life examples to teach math and finances in a fun and interactive way,” said Jarrad Bittner, Executive Director at the BFKCM. “Besides spending and saving, we also learn about sharing. We talk about what the kids would like to share with others, teaching them about generosity and empathy.”
When kids enter the BFKCM, they will receive a check they can cash for BFK bucks. Throughout the BFKCM there will be different stations where they will learn about spending, saving and sharing. Each station will teach different elements of financial literacy. Kids can play games for the cost of their water bill which teaches about budging skills and investment games to learn about saving. They will get the opportunity to purchase healthy snacks and other items, do fun activities and learn about sharing with others in our community.
Plus, The Big Read story time at 1 p.m., 2:30 p.m. and 4:15 p.m. with the story “Count on Pablo” by Barbara deRubertis. Kids at story time will receive a copy of the book.
