7 Step Money Lesson for Kids Who Like Music
Here are seven simple steps that will have parents, teachers and trainers talking to and teaching young kids about money and helping them understand that the sooner they get in the habit of saving and investing money, the more "riches" they will systematically attain.
Step 1. Read Song Lyrics Together
Sisters and brothers, fathers and mothers
Big and small, anyone at all
I promise you this, anyone can be rich!
It doesn't matter how you have to start
It can be a little, it can be a lot
Just follow the money rules and play it smart
All I'm saying is do your part
The sooner you start, the less it takes
The trick is not to delay or wait
If it is riches you want to create,
Just start saving early, not late
Dark and fair, cool and square
Short and tall, anyone at all
I promise you this, anyone can be rich!
When you follow the money rules
Take it inch by inch, pinch by pinch
I'm saying anyone can do it even me and you
The sooner you start, the less it takes
The trick is not to delay or wait
If it is riches you want to create,
Just start saving early, not late
Gal and guy, bold and shy
big and small, anyone at all
I promise you this, anyone can be rich!
Doesn't matter if your eyes are blue or green
Your hair can be curly or straight
Your name can be Jean or even Jelly Bean
Just start saving early, not late
Sisters and brothers, fathers and mothers
Big and small, anyone at all
I promise you this, anyone can be rich!
Dark and fair, cool and square
Short and tall, anyone at all
I promise you this, anyone can be rich!
Oh yeh, anyone at all
Anyone can be rich
Oh yeh, just start saving early, not late!
Step 2. Listen to the Song
Now listen to the song Anyone Can Be Rich together. Listen as many times as you like!
Step 3. Discuss Song
The song lyrics share beginning ideas and call attention to the importance of getting in the habit of saving (and investing) money early - when you are young. Have a discussion with your child, children or students about the song. Ask them what lyrics from the song they like the most and why.
For example, I love the lyrics:
"... the sooner you start, the less it takes ..."
"... just start saving early, not late ..."
"... it doesn't matter how much you have to start ..."
Step 4. Activities
If you are a premimun Sammy Rabbit Money School member, have your child, children or students complete one or all of the activities that accompany the song Anyone Can Be Rich.
If you are not a premium School member, join. This is a wonderful way to support Sammy's mission to bring financial literacy education to kids and families across the world.
If you are Free member, listen to more music from Sammy's Song Series. And keep having discussions with your parents and teachers about the money habits shared in the songs.
Step 5. Review and Discuss Activities
After your child, children or students has completed the activities for the song Anyone Can Be Rich, review and discuss them together.
Step 6. Deposits
Applied knowledge is powerful and life transforming.
Give your child or children opportunities to earn and save money.
Make a deposit with your child or children into a piggy bank, savings jar or into a savings account at the financial institution of your choice. Get them in the habits of earning and saving money. Oh yes!
Have your child deposit the activities they complete into their Dream Big Journal!
Step 7. Keep Learning
