What this lesson shows
Food, a coat, and a home are needs; a toy and a treat are wants. Sort each picture, and tell how earning money pays for them.
The worked example
The lesson works this one step by step: food, ball, coat, treat, home: needs or wants. Then your kid tries one like it on paper.
The steps
- A need: you must have it
- A want: nice to have
- Sort each one
- Needs first
Helping at home
Name each picture together. Ask: could you live without it? Your kid circles each need and puts an X on each want. At the store, ask which things in the cart are needs.
If your kid gets stuck
Could you live without it?
Watch it with Lux
