Two shops, two prices

The same thing can cost less next door

Level 1: Money basics · from age 6 · 2 minutes · 3 Kesho Stars

The story

Nafula needs an exercise book. One duka sells it for KES 60. The shop across the road sells the same book for KES 50.

The big idea

Shops can charge different prices for the same thing. Checking two shops before you buy is called comparing prices.

Ask at home

Next time you shop, ask your child to check the price of one thing in two different shops.

The full lesson, with its questions and Kesho Stars, is in the myKesho kids app.
