Activity:
(One of the easiest and most common ways that students earn money is by performing chores in and
around the home. Encouraging students to perform chores develops and reinforces the concept that
money doesn’t grow on trees, but must be earned.)
A. Lead a discussion about chores that students can do for their parents that might earn them a little extra
money. Students should consider that there are many jobs that family members do for each other are not
(and should not be) done for money, but rather for love. Hence, when suggesting chores that they could
do to earn money, they should think about extra jobs that they don’t do already.
Explain that students should not expect to be paid for every household chore, but, if they want to
earn more money, they can discuss doing a little something extra with their parents.
