A week at the tuck shop
Make pocket money last a whole boarding week
The story
Wanjiku is in boarding school. She has KES 450 to last Monday to Friday. Mandazi are KES 20 and a soda is KES 60.
The big idea
Splitting money into daily amounts is the simplest budget there is. If you overspend one day, spend less the next.
Ask at home
Ask your child what their daily amount would be with KES 450 for 5 days.
The full lesson, with its questions and Kesho Stars, is in the myKesho kids app.
Ready for tomorrow.
Start this week. Their first payday can be this Friday.
