Financial Literacy Free Day at The Building for Kids Children’s Museum Makes Spending and Saving Fun
At Financial Literacy Free Day at The Building for Kids Children’s Museum (BFKCM) families can learn how to save and spend wisely, and have fun doing it! This free admission day on Sunday, April 22 from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. is sponsored by Money Smart Week, Mielke Family Foundation and Chase Bank and will offer math and financial programming, as well as the opportunity for families to enjoy the BFKCM.
When kids enter the BFKCM, they will receive a check they can cash for Museum money. Throughout the Museum 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 play 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.
“Through Financial Literacy Free Day, we are not just teaching kids math and financial skills, but also cause and effect,” said Jarrad Bittner, Executive Director at the BFKCM. “It is created to be fun and interactive, but also where they relate to real life examples they see every day in their parents.”
