Sporty Money Twist is an innovative blend of active games and discussion that communicates key financial messages in a fun and effective way.

This programme is delivered directly to young people in your school by experts from the charity MyBnk.

The session gives young people the opportunity to ‘play’ with financial education, which in turn brings money to life and strengthens learning.

Key facts:

Format: 2 hour workshop.

Target group: 14-18 year olds.

Group size: 12-30 young people.

Sessions cover:

My Money: Sources of income, minimum wage, payslips, tax, national insurance and government income and expenditure.

Sporty Money Twist approaches financial capability in a hands-on manner as young people play games and work together to understand and address key topics like public finance. The key elements of fun, friendly competition and detailed content allow participants to discuss and share their views in an engaging and comfortable environment.

The programme is designed to get young people thinking and caring about their finances, both now and in their short and long-term futures. Participants are given the opportunity to learn and change their behaviour through activities that cater for all levels of ability.

Sporty Money Twist can be delivered on a playing area outside or in a large indoor hall.

Our own research has shown that combining physical activity with financial education can sometimes be more effective than traditional classroom based lessons.

* 55% of pupils who could not understand financial terms like ‘habits’ (43%)‘ and ‘budget’ (67%) now can.

* 87% of teachers said pupils now know financial decisions have consequences.

* 91% of teachers said pupils now know there are ‘costs of living’.

Testimonial:

“I enjoyed the games we did because it was fun, entertaining and something different. I’m not good at managing money but I learnt how to open a savings account and I think I will open one to help me save up for a quad bike. I also learnt that it’s important to prioritise; to know what you want and what you need and to know the difference between them. I would recommend the session to people because some people don’t know about this and they obviously need to.” Georgina, 16, Essex Boys and Girls Club.
