Cool Cash Adventure

Students are always encouraged to dream big, but sometimes it pays to dream realistically, too. You can teach your students practical money skills and better decision making with this fun kit. The interactive curriculum helps you guide students through the consequences of different types of purchases, from borrowing money to pay for an item, to using debit and gift cards. A "write your own adventure" student book involves the reader directly by basing the outcome of the adventure on the reader's specific purchasing choices. Math skills will also be strengthened through use of this curriculum.
