One or both of your parents probably has a job that they work at during the week to make money for your family. Some adults work in an office, others work in shops or restaurants, and some people work outdoors doing different types of jobs. While you can't have a job like your parents do yet, there are ways that kids can earn money. You might even find a way to start your own business. An entrepreneur is a person who creates and runs a business. Kids can be entrepreneurs with a little creativity and effort.

Entrepreneurship
When you want to earn money, you might start your own small business. A lemonade stand is one type of business that kids can try, especially on a hot summer day. If you make a pitcher of lemonade and some cookies, you can set up a stand on your street to sell drinks and snacks to neighbors. You might also advertise your services for raking leaves, shoveling snow, mowing lawns, or walking dogs. Another entrepreneurial idea involves making items and selling them. You could knit scarves, sew potholders, or make jewelry. Your parents can help you with setting rates for services or prices for items you want to sell. You might make fliers to advertise your service or products and place the fliers around your neighborhood.

Lesson Plans
Earning and managing money takes practice. Lesson plans can help you learn some of these skills. Lesson plans usually have tips, ideas, games, and puzzles that all work together to teach you the information. Some lesson plans even teach you how to budget your money. If you get an allowance or you make money for your business, you will need to know how to budget your cash.
