Little Economists

In the Little Economists club, students explore different financial concepts and real-world scenarios in a fun and engaging way. Some topics are even pulled straight from current headlines.

Every week, you get an engaging and interactive email digest that includes:

1. Stories:

We kick off each email with a captivating story that explains a specific financial concept. This story makes the concept come to life and help children understand it better.

2. Animations/Videos:

To complement the story, we include animations or videos that visually illustrate the financial concept, making it even more accessible and engaging for kids.

3. Puzzles and Activities:

After the story, there are puzzles or activities that parents and children can work on together. This activity will reinforce the concept learned in the story and provide a hands-on learning experience.

4. Leader-board:

We'll keep track of kids' progress and provide a leaderboard to showcase the achievements of kids who participate actively. It's a fun way to encourage healthy competition and motivation.

5. Little Economist of the week:

In each email, we'll feature one of our club-member kid who has excelled in the activities. This spotlight will celebrate their achievements and inspire other kids to participate actively.

By combining storytelling, visuals, interactive activities, and recognition, our weekly digest aim to create a fun and educational experience for both parents and children as they explore various financial concepts together.

As a parent, I can't express enough how valuable the Little Economists has been for Ethan. It's not just about teaching money; it's about teaching life skills. The well-structured content and friendly competitions have sparked Ethan's interest in finance and responsibility. I'm thrilled to see him grasp these concepts at the young age of 12.
