A whole term’s money

Split Term pocket money into needs and wants

Level 5: Planning ahead · from age 12 · 3 minutes · 3 Kesho Stars

The story

Zawadi is going back to boarding school. Her Term pocket money is KES 3,600, and the term is 12 weeks long.

The big idea

A simple plan: half for needs, some for wants, and a slice for savings. For example 50% needs, 30% wants, 20% save.

Ask at home

Before next term, sit with your child and split their Term pocket money into needs, wants and savings.

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