Students examine the importance of money as it travels back and forth between consumers, businesses, and the city government. In the session, students watch and discuss Cha-Ching’s “When You Get Money” music video and role-play how money moves in a city.
When people, businesses, and the city balance the four money choices (earn, save, spend, and donate), the city remains healthy and can thrive.
