CashVille Kidz

24 episodes

CashVille Kidz is a 24-episode animated series that teaches children how money works, one concept at a time. Produced by MoneyTree and free on its official YouTube channel, each seven-minute episode takes a single idea and explains it with kid-scale examples: why money beat barter, needs versus wants, opportunity cost, inflation, interest, debt, and how to build a budget. Woven through are money-mindset episodes on habits, goal-setting, and smart decisions. Pitched at grades three through six, it gives teachers a clear, friendly on-ramp to any economics or financial-literacy unit, introducing the vocabulary plainly before a class builds on it.
