How to use the Kids Corner

  1. Pick a game to play together. Each one teaches one simple money idea in a few minutes.
  2. Try the Save, Spend, Share jars. Type the pocket money amount and move the sliders.
  3. Choose one talk question for your child’s age. Ask it at dinner or on the way to school.
  4. Print the My Savings Jar chart. Your child colours in one coin each time they save.

A simple example

Rohan, 9, gets ₹100 pocket money. He puts 40% in Save, 50% in Spend and 10% in Share. That is ₹40, ₹50 and ₹10.

He wants a ₹500 cricket bat. His printed chart has 20 coins, so each coin means about ₹25 saved.

Saving ₹40 a month, the bat will take about a year. He can see the coins fill up, so the wait feels real and fair.

Teaching money by age

  • Ages 6 to 8: start with coins and three jars at home. Talk about waiting for something better, and about needs and wants. A school bag is a need; a new toy is a want.
  • Ages 9 to 11: turn shopping into a lesson. Compare two packets and ask which gives more for the money. Help them set a small goal and count the weeks to reach it.
  • Ages 12 to 14: talk about ads and why they make us want things. Start online safety early: never share an OTP or PIN, and always tell a parent.
  • At every age: let children make small mistakes with small money. A spent-too-soon ₹50 teaches more than a lecture.

Why start early

Children copy what they see at home. Simple habits, like saving first and sharing a little, learned young, tend to stay.

Keep it light and warm. Short, everyday chats work better than long talks. Praise effort, not the amount saved.

For older children, the Money Words page explains common money terms in plain language.

Questions people ask

What age should my child start learning about money?

Around 5 or 6 is a good time to start. Simple ideas like counting coins, saving in a jar and waiting for a treat work well at that age.

How much pocket money should I give?

There is no right amount. Pick a small, regular sum your family is comfortable with. What matters is that the child decides how to split it.

Is anything collected when my child plays?

No. The games need no sign-up and nothing is collected. Try Piggy Catch together as a first game.
