Game ideas to encourage saving habits in children


1. Encourage children to count coins


This is a great way of introducing children to the concept of money. You can give them coins, explain how much they are worth, and encourage them to count. You can also make a fun game out of it, asking them to segregate and make piles of different denominations of coins. 

2. Take them out shopping


Explain to your kids how money is necessary to buy any item. The best thing to do is take them shopping - whether it is for groceries, clothes, or toys. This will give them an idea of how much things cost. Even better, set them a budget and give them the freedom to pick items. This will inspire them to think before they spend and buy only the things they really want. 

3. Offer them opportunities to earn


Rather than handing out pocket money, give children simple chores around the house so they can earn it. This could include cleaning their room, taking the dog for a walk, setting the table for dinner, or washing up afterward. This will help them learn the value of money, which will hold them in good stead all their lives.

4. Gift them a piggy bank


Once your child starts earning money, it is time to teach them about saving money. With small children, the most effective way is to give them a piggy bank and encourage them to put the money they earned or received as gifts into the piggy bank. Once they have collected a substantial amount, you can open a savings bank account for them that’s designed for minors. 

5. Play board games with them 


Imparting financial skills is one of the best gifts you can give your child. One fun way to do this is by gifting them a board game such as Monopoly. This will teach them about spending judiciously, buying properties, earning rent, saving money, paying taxes, and more. You can spend some quality time with your child playing this game as well.
