Now includes a reusable 10-page Play Pack — turn the first budget mission into a four-week habit with choice cards, a goal ladder, weekly resets and a ten-minute family money meeting.
"Where did my money go?"
Pocket money often vanishes before the goal arrives — not because a child is careless, but because the money never got a job. This mission changes that, hands-on at the table.
No lecture. Just print, play and learn together.

Cut-out coins
Real coins to sort with. Decide together what one coin is worth.
Need-or-Want game
Sort where your money goes. Both are allowed — the game is knowing which is which.
Goal card
Name it, price it, draw it. A goal you can see is a goal you'll reach.
The one-week mission
Seven days: what came in, and what each coin did. Look back together.
When the plan changes
The PLAN reset: pause, look, adjust, new map. A delay isn't giving up.
Family talk cards
Six cards to pull at dinner. No right answers — just listen.
Money Hero certificate
A diploma for the finished mission — one to put on the wall.
