Giving is one of the main ways of understanding the value of money—but it often gets ignored. When we pay close attention to what we want for Christmas or birthdays and spending lots of money on our loved ones, why not take the time to teach your sons or daughters a little bit about giving? Here are 4 activities which can help your children know what is the real meaning of “giving”.
Donating(捐贈)Online
Because your children have seen all the fun and games from the charity organization Children in Need fundraising, it’s the perfect time to show them how easy it is to donate money to charity online and how rewarding this can be. If they have a Go Henry card, they can even do this themselves directly using their own money earned from playing the games that develop intelligence (智力).
Time: Saturday every week
Giving Things to Charity
Giving their extra things to charity can help kids see how much value their things have. Explaining the money from selling their things and helping others can make them feel how lucky they are.
Time: Sunday every week
Volunteering within the Community(社區(qū))
Whether it’s clearing rubbish from a park or visiting the elderly, volunteering is certainly the most direct way for your children to understand what we mean when we say “giving”. This really helps understand the value of giving some of their time.
Time: Monday every summer vacation
Getting Them to Actively Raise Money for Something
Help them discover something they really care about and get their mind set on how they could raise some money for people in need. Making cakes and selling them at school, selling some of their own things or even washing the neighbors’ cars are great ways in which children can make a difference to something they care about.
Time: Tuesday every winter vacation
