Creative ways to use Canva’s Financial Literacy Templates

You can use these templates in a wide variety of creative ways such as:

• Visualize those “Life Happens” moments – The ‘Bean Game‘ template can be used as a tactile classroom budgeting game that asks students to allocate beans (or candies, or whatever) into budget categories like housing, clothing, food, savings, furniture, utilities, and more — based on their values, cost breakdowns, and money priorities.
• Make money talk more memorable with whiteboards – Money is sometimes a taboo subject, but learning about money is also sometimes a conversational act. Teachers around the world can close the gap between societal norms around money and crucial life skills by creating opportunities in class for students to talk it out.
• Give students a creative option with infographics – The templates include personalized infographic templates that encourages students to express their creativity, design preferences, and choice. 
• Use Canva Poster templates – Personal Finance is filled with technical vocabulary that can be challenging for students to use in context. For many of the trickiest Personal Finance terms, Canva for Education and NGPF have teamed up to create eye-catching posters or anchor charts. Check them out here. 
• Engage your young storytellers with Canva Storyboard – The best Personal Finance lessons put students in the driver’s seat as they scan the horizon for the many tough money decisions ahead. When well-planned financial choices compound over a lifetime (much like interest), people achieve not just financial literacy, but financial empowerment and security. This storyboard template is the perfect way for your young storytellers to write and illustrate themselves into their own epic story of long-term money mastery.
