I handed out Apples for every Personal Finance Student at our school (not just mine) and asked them to write their personal finance advice that they may have learned this year so far. I also asked them to color/decorate them if they want to cut them out. I put them on the "Personal Finance Advice Apple Tree" -An apple a day keeps the loan sharks away!! :) They had fun with it and it shows other students who walk by some valuable information as well.

Napkin Finance creates fun, engaging infographics that teach people complex financial concepts using the format of napkins. A bulletin board with some of the napkins printed out.

"Money Doesn't Grow on Trees" takes critical lesson components that pop from the NGPF Lesson and makes it into a "trunk" full of great visuals, statistics, and data that "branches" out an amazing symbol of "shady" common misconceptions students might have on money. It tries to connect what type of costs and future planning are needed for students growing up and what reality looks like. The stunning visual, hopefully, stands out in their minds and catches their attention to read further to build their "roots" in the costs, concerns, and NEED for goal setting.
Students can refer to this "canopy of conscientiousness" to make sure they are "planting the right seeds" of achievement now and seeing the heights and bounds their aims can reach. All this before they make it to the end of 8th grade, on their way to high school, and make like a tree... and leaf! :D

Most of my decor came straight from NGPF! I keep the tax dollar activity posted year round, and we use it when that lesson comes around.
