We use money to buy things that we need and things that we want.
NARRATOR: Hi everyone, today we're talking about money! We use money to buy things that we need and things that we want.
We see the outside of a corner shop. Then we are inside and three people sing a song about money and do actions.
ALL: (singing) Money, money what’s it for? Money, money tell me more. Bring it to the corner shop, to buy yourself a lolly. Mummy bought a wooden door. Granda bought a Labrador. Granny bought a ticket for the bus to Ballycastle. Money, money what’s it for? Money, money tell me more. Bring it to the corner shop, to buy yourself a lolly. Daddy bought a new canoe. Auntie bought a kangaroo. Baby bought some orange juice and put it in her bottle.
Images of pennies appear on screen as they count.
ALL: 1p! 2p! 3p, four! 5p! 6p! 7p, more!
BOY: Now we know what money is and what it’s for!
ALL: If you have it in the bank, you can spend it as you like. Tap it, swipe it, pay by card.
GIRL 1: Now we know what money is - it’s not that hard!
ALL: Save it! Lend it! Share it! Spend it!
ALL: (singing) Money, money what’s it for? Money, money tell me more. Bring it to the corner shop, to buy yourself a lolly. Mummy bought a wooden door. Granda bought a Labrador. Granny bought a ticket for the bus to Ballycastle.
Ends.
Tap it, swipe it, pay by card.
