Children explore being part of a family and the individual's contribution to the running of the household. They consider roles and responsibilities in the home and if and when young people should be paid, or not, for doing chores.

Using a range of needs and wants, including basic human needs, children are encouraged to consider some of the priorities that adults may need to set when operating with limited funds and how this might affect them and their family.

This activity will stimulate discussion about how families may prioritise spending on essentials and to help children understand that when money is scarce there are choices and sacrifices that may need to be made.
