Financial literacy skills are sadly lacking among today’s teens.  Learning to make smart money decisions should start early in life.

From the producers of Bill Nye the Science Guy, Biz Kid$ is a fun, fast-paced series where kids teach kids about money and entrepreneurship.  Each episode features several young business owners who share their success stories.

Biz Kid$ teaches kids financial literacy in a fun way.  Spoofs of movies make this series a hit with both kids and adults.  Along the way, kids learn about saving, budging, investing, and giving back to the community.

Being a Biz Kid is all about managing money and building a business…and we don’t mean just learning to balance a checkbook.  Kids learn the concepts behind entrepreneurship by formulating business plans and following the principles of marketing.

This series, supported locally by the Virginia Credit Union, is available online at classroomclips.org for registered K-12 educators.  To become a registered user, go to the Classroom Clips registration page.
