Outdoor Financial Education resources

Understanding money is a vital life skill, yet many children have little chance to explore how banking works or how to stay safe with money online. Learning outdoors offers a hands-on way to bring these ideas to life, using the natural world to make them real and memorable.

This resource contains two session plans for children aged 9-11. In ‘Banking on it!’, pupils compare the choices made by nesting birds with their own as consumers, then design their own ‘wild’ bank. In ‘Staying Safe with Digital Money’, an outdoor digital trail helps them spot scams, protect personal information and know when to ask for help. Both include discussion prompts, certificates and activities to try at home.
