Where smart choices meet creative thinking!

What makes us buy something — a need, a want, or just an impulse?

In this hands-on, interactive workshop, children will explore how and why we make spending choices — and what truly matters when it comes to money.

No boring theory here! Every part of this session is designed through games, stories, and creative activities to help kids understand money sense in a joyful and practical way.

Through group challenges, fun discussions, and a surprise craft project related to the theme, children will explore the difference between needs, wants, and impulse buys — learning how to pause, reflect, and make thoughtful, balanced decisions.

It’s a playful introduction to financial literacy, gratitude, and mindful choices, helping kids realise that being a “smart spender” isn’t just about saving money — it’s about valuing what truly matters. 

Session Plan

Ice-Breaker Game: Needs vs Wants (20 minutes)

We’ll start with a fun ice-breaker that helps children distinguish between what they need and what they want, setting the tone for a thoughtful yet light-hearted session.

Interactive Activities & Games (85 minutes)

A series of engaging, movement-based and creative activities will help kids gradually build their understanding of needs, wants, and impulses. This includes a fun surprise art & craft project they’ll get to take home — something meaningful they’ll create with their own hands.

Wrap-Up: Reflection & Gratitude Circle (15 minutes)

The session closes with shared reflections, stories, and a gratitude circle — helping children appreciate the things they already have and the choices they make every day.
