Lesson Plans

We've developed a series of Life Scenarios that illustrate important principles of spending and saving to your classes. Students receive fictional income and expense transactions similar to those they'll encounter in real life. As they use Banzai to track their progress, they learn important life lessons about budgeting and making trade-offs.
