Hello.
My name is Mr. Tazzyman, and today I'm gonna be teaching and learning with you about financial education.
That's all about money, how it makes us feel, and where we might see it and use it.
I hope you enjoy the lesson.
Let's get started.
This is the outcome for the lesson then, by the end, we want you to be able to say, "I know that money can create a range of feelings in different situations." There's only one key word today and it's feelings.
I'd like you to repeat it back to me now, please.
Well done.
Here's what we mean by feelings.
Something that you feel through the mind or through the senses.
This is the outline for the lesson then, we're gonna start off with money and feelings, and then we're gonna look at a few different scenarios which involve those feelings.
In this lesson, you're gonna meet Jacob and Sam and they're gonna chat through some of their own thinking.
They're also gonna present us with some different scenarios to learn from.
Hi, Jacob.
Hi, Sam.
Are you ready? Are you ready? Let's go.
Jacob and Sam are going on a school trip to a museum.
Their teacher has asked them to bring some money to spend in the shop.
"I brought five pounds to spend.
I can't wait to go to the shop." Well, I can see from the way that Jacob is saying that he's got some certain feelings.
I wonder what they are.
Hmm, put yourself in his shoes, how would you feel if you had gone to the shop and you've got five pounds to spend? How does that make you feel? Well, let's use that for our check for understanding.
You're gonna circle the word below that best describes Jacob's feelings and why do you think he feels this way.
We've got a choice of three.
Does Jacob feel excited, rushed, or nervous? Which of those three words do you think best describes how he feels? Pause the video and decide, but remember, you've also got to say why.
Welcome back.
I think Jacob feels excited here.
Jacob is excited because he has some money to spend so he can make his own decisions about what he might like to buy.
"That's great, Jacob," replies, Sam, "I've got 10 pounds to spend.
I'm excited too." At first, Jacob was very excited about his money.
Then when he found out Sam had more, he felt disappointed.
Money can create different feelings for different people in different situations.
How would you feel in Jacob's position, do you think? Initially he was really excited about having money to spend, but when he started to compare how much he had to spend with somebody else, he became disappointed.
Even though the money, the amount there was, didn't change.
Okay, let's have a go at the first task here.
You are gonna describe a situation involving money, which has made you feel the following emotions, A, joyful, B, angry, C, embarrassed and D content.
Now, some of those might be quite tricky words.
You may want to spend some time ensuring that you definitely know what they mean before you start to think of situations which involve those and money.
When you've finished, you might wanna start to share some of your experiences as well if you can.
All right, pause the video and have a go.
Welcome back.
Here's what Sam suggests you do next.
"Try comparing and sharing your experiences of each with somebody else." Now, it might be that some of them you don't want to share and that's understandable.
You don't have to, but it's good to hear other people's experiences so we can start to see that our own experiences aren't always unique, especially if they're negative.
Often other people have gone through the same emotions as well, and that can sometimes help us to feel better about things.
Okay, let's move on to the second part of the lesson, scenarios.
Jacob and Sam buy an ice cream.
Sam is struggling to choose which to have.
Do you ever get that feeling? Sometimes when you go to buy ice cream, there's so many choices it's difficult to know which one to pick.
"I like orange sorbet and I like strawberry.
I'll go for strawberry," says Sam.
Halfway through eating, Sam regrets her choice.
"I wish I'd chosen orange, now," she says.
Has that happened to you, ever? Have you regretted choosing one thing over another? Okay, let's think about feelings again in this check for understanding.
How do you think Sam is feeling and explain your choice.
What might you say to Sam to change her feelings? Now, this time we've got quite a few words here.
Which of these do you think is most appropriate for Sam? Upset, cross, relaxed, excited, frustrated, embarrassed, pleased, and regretful.
Again, if you're not sure about any of those words, you might wanna take a little bit of time to make sure that you understand them before you make a choice about Sam's current feelings.
Pause the video and give it a go.
Welcome back.
We thought that she might be feeling mostly regretful.
Sam might be feeling quite regretful because she made the wrong choice.
However, because this is feelings and emotions, you might be able to argue some of the other feelings that she's experiencing as well.
It's very rare that we just feel one thing at any one time.
Jacob says, "I understand why you might feel upset.
Making the wrong choice is disappointing." Sam is regretting her choice.
This is sometimes called buyer's regret.
Next time Sam chooses orange instead.
"This was the right choice," says Sam.
"I really enjoyed it.
Orange sorbet, delicious." Jacob goes to buy a new football.
At the till, he realises that he's lost some of his money.
"I've lost some of my coins.
I had enough to pay for the football." Okay, let's check your understanding again, how do you think Jacob is feeling and explain your choice.
What might you say to Jacob to change his feelings? We've got the same words that we had last time.
Upset, cross, relaxed, excited, frustrated, embarrassed, pleased, and regretful.
Which of those do you think is most appropriate? Pause the video here and have a go.
Welcome back.
We thought that Jacob was likely to be feeling cross.
We've said Jacob might be feeling cross because he has lost some of his money, so he can't afford what he wants, and that seems very unfair.
"It is also very frustrating losing coins," says Sam.
Okay, it's time for your second task then.
For each of the scenarios below, choose a word from the list to describe how you might feel.
Explain your choice.
A, you get to the till to pay for a new toy, but you realise that you haven't got enough money to buy it.
B, a relative gives you five pounds for your birthday.
Later in the year, she gives your older sibling 10 pounds for their birthday.
The words are at the bottom there, same as they were previously, upset, cross, relaxed, excited, frustrated, embarrassed, pleased, and regretful.
We've also got C and D.
C on a school trip you and your class visit the shop.
Isn't it great visiting the shop on a school trip? You realise you've got more money than everyone else.
I wonder how you feel then.
D, you leave some money in your locker at the start of the day.
At the end of the day, it's missing.
Hmm, how would you feel then? Pause the video and have a go at this task.
Welcome back.
We've put some feedback together for each of these, but of course, because we're talking about feelings and emotions, there might be some different answers within your class.
A, you might feel quite upset because your excitement for the toy has suddenly turned to disappointment.
You may also feel a bit embarrassed and if you think about that last sentence, that's because keeping money is about keeping track as well.
If you'd have known how much he had, then you probably wouldn't have put yourself in that situation and sometimes that kind of thing can be a bit embarrassing.
The truth is no one would really mind, but for you it might be worth keeping track to help avoid that situation.
For B, you might feel slightly cross about this because it seems unfair, but maybe you already knew that your older sibling was going to receive more, so you may feel relaxed.
Different families do it in different ways.
Some families don't give money and some families do give money gradually, they give more as the children get older.
Sam says at the bottom there, "You might have a different opinion about this." What I want you to do now is pause the video, so as a class you can discuss some of the different opinions that might crop up.
Let's look at C and D then, this is what we thought.
For C, you might feel delighted about this, but you could also feel embarrassed that you have more than your friends.
It's tricky this one.
Some people are quite comfortable with having more.
Some people find that in itself embarrassing.
Again, there's no right or wrong answer here.
We're talking about feelings, which are not things that you can always control.
For D, you might feel cross with a strong sense of injustice here alongside the fact that you have not got as much money as you had, meaning you might be upset.
It's really hard when money goes missing.
A lot of the time you make big accusations straight away blaming somebody else.
Sometimes it could be that we haven't taken personal responsibility for the coins to keep 'em safe.
Remember using a wallet's always a really good idea.
Sam says at the bottom there, "You might have a different opinion about this," and that's true for all of them.
Pause a video here to have a quick share and discuss some of those differences of opinion.
Okay, welcome back.
It's time to summarise.
Money can bring a wide range of emotions.
Different people react differently to money in different situations.
You've probably got lots of experience of that already, but it's worth noting that even with the scenarios we had here that were pretend, people may have felt very strongly one way or another.
Money often does this, so you need to just be careful and make sure all the time that you're being sensitive to how other people are feeling.
I really enjoyed learning today, I hope you did as well.
Maybe I'll see you again soon.
Bye for now.
