Series

Secret Millionaires Club

26 episodes

An animated series in which a kids' club runs small businesses with investor Warren Buffett appearing as their mentor. Each 22-minute episode wraps one money idea in a story: a gift shop that tries to sell everything and loses focus, a three-part trip to King Arthur's court that works through spending, debt and repayment, a microloan that gets somebody started, a negotiation that has to be fair on both sides. A few reach further, into copyright and pirated downloads or into how trade connects countries. Written for grades 3-6 and easy to slot into economics work.
