Financial Literacy in Action

 Class 6 pupils began their financial literacy activities with a European Currencies Quiz. They enjoyed recalling which countries use the Euro and which still have their own money. Some shared memories of family trips abroad, remembering how their parents compared prices and how they still keep magnets and souvenirs from those journeys.

They created an infographic about our banknotes and explained who appears on each. 

Afterwards, they completed a questionnaire and showed how they spend and save money. 


They discussed how much money they usually get and spend in a month, and they realised that some receive more for birthdays or hobbies, while many mostly spend their parents’ money on things like sports equipment or treats. They found monthly budgets confusing, since they don’t manage regular expenses, and realised they need easier examples like pocket money.

Using the Six Thinking Hats technique, they learned how to solve a problem with budgeting. 

As Future Savers, pupils answered a poll and shared comments on the forum, discussing their spending habits: 

  • I spend my pocket money on clothes, gaming gadgets and slime.
  • I also spend money on clothes.

With their blue hats on, they collaborated on the e‑book on financial literacy. 

Finally, they tested their knowledge by playing the Truth or Lie quiz, making learning about finance fun and interactive.

Financial Literacy in action The activities carried out during the research stage on financial literacy played a significant role in developing essential life skills among students. Through the use of a questionnaire, students were encouraged to reflect on their own financial habits and attitudes toward money. This process not only improved their self-awareness but also helped them understand the importance of responsible financial behavior from an early age.  One of the most impactful activities was learning how to create a realistic budget using the “Six Thinking Hats” method. This approach challenged students to look at financial decisions from multiple perspectives—logical, emotional, creative, and critical. As a result, they developed critical thinking and decision-making skills, learning how to evaluate needs versus wants, anticipate possible risks, and find balanced solutions. These are valuable competencies that extend far beyond financial education and can be applied in ev...
