Educational booklets and cards on financial literacy for children and parents, featuring colorful illustrations and text about values-based financial education and generosity.

AWARENESS DAYS, THEME WEEKS
and money lessons

Three educational booklets or flyers related to children's activities, money, and a hall of fame, displayed on a black background. The first shows a smiling young girl holding plush toys, the second contains questions about the value of coins with cartoon illustrations, and the third highlights resources and achievements from a school's hall of fame.

Money shows up everywhere in life - so it makes sense that financial education shows up across the school year too.

Here, you can find resources aligned with national and global awareness days to make teaching about money feel relevant and easy to deliver. Whether you’re planning an assembly, a maths activity or a whole-school focus week, we’re here to help you connect the dots.

Financial education doesn’t have to sit in one subject. It can support range of subjects including oracy, drama, wellbeing, digital safety, citizenship and enterprise — all while building the confidence young people need to handle money in the real world.

why use awareness days to teach
money lessons?

That means you can:

  • Deliver financial education without adding extra curriculum pressure

  • Support statutory PSHE, citizenship and Health and Wellbeing requirements

  • Strengthen numeracy through real-life money examples

  • Build pupils’ confidence talking about money and choices

  • Show how money connects to everyday life
