Summary
In this Cha-Ching Money Smart Kids song, the Cha-Ching band introduces the four things you can do with money — earn it, save it, spend it, and donate it. A lively three-minute animated music video that makes a financial-literacy idea easy to drop into a morning meeting or a social studies / economics lesson for young learners.
