Will Jones Space Adventures and The Money Formula - The Play
A book that allows many children across many capabilities to learn a money concept, the following is from TES:
"Teaching money management in a fun and interesting way is a tall order. On the whole, most teachers do not feel they have the skills, knowledge or resources to tackle personal finance education. Can Will Jones help? Context, narrative and purpose are three essential ingredients to feed dialogue and discussion, and the Will Jones resources for primary schools mix all three in a dynamic way. Children join Will and Ben on a rich adventure set on the wealthy planet of Ozimoth, where they can find out more about how to manage money, and realise the importance of a money system, using a fictitious currency called Rupins. The story and play aim to get children thinking more carefully about what to do with their money and the life choices they can make. The charming narrative is well written: the story would work well as a class reader and the play could be staged as an assembly... The Rupins concept is a great place to start and children will enjoy the adventure..." Source extracted: TES Times Education Supplement No 4714 8 December 2006
