NGPF's Financial Literacy Month Activity Calendar!

It's Financial Literacy Month 2022! April is NGPF's favorite time of year because the eyes of the world turn to the crucial financial skills and mindsets that students are learning in your classrooms.

What is the NGPF Financial Literacy Month 2022 Calendar?

We asked our small (but mighty!) team to identify their favorite free NGPF resources, then organized them thematically into the Financial Literacy Month ideas calendar below. The calendar consists of one free NGPF resource for every weekday in April! Teachers of any subject can find a resource (or several!) in the calendar, then start a financial literacy lesson or discussion today!

We hope you can use this calendar to have fun in your classroom, help empower the next generation of financially capable young people, and have a very Happy Financial Literacy Month 2022!
