Tykeoons is a structured and engaging curriculum for Year 4-6 pupils in economics, business and finance. Our resources help students understand key economic concepts, develop financial literacy, and make informed financial decisions through interactive lessons, real-world applications, and hands-on activities.

Financial literacy is a lifelong skill that helps children understand money management, decision-making, and economic principles from an early age. Studies show that early financial education improves confidence, critical thinking, and future financial habits, helping children make better financial choices as they grow.

There are very few financial literacy programmes out there for primary-age pupils. The ones that do exist focus only on personal finance topics. We strongly feel this is only the tip of the iceberg; to become financially-successful adults requires learning how economic forces in the wider world affect decision making, how money itself functions today, what mistakes people have made in the past, how to adopt a mindset and perspective that’s geared to thinking ahead and how to actually create value and build a small business.

We accept credit/debit cards and school purchase orders. Please contact us to enquire further if you have a payment query.

Tykeoons is designed for Key Stage 2 (KS2) pupils, and we recommend starting in Year 4, with the first two modules taught in Y4, the next two in Y5 and the final three in Y6. However, these are just suggestions; it’s up to your school how to implement it!

Yes! Tykeoons is flexible and can be used in:

school classrooms (as part of the curriculum or enrichment programs).

After-school clubs (for hands-on financial education).

Home learning/tutoring environments (for parents who want to teach their children about money and economics).

Each module consists of 5-6 lessons, with each lesson designed to be at least 60 minutes long.

However, the materials are flexible, and teachers/parents can adjust the pace based on pupil needs. 

No! Most adults with any experience of managing their own finances already know most of what they need to in order to teach Tykeoons. For the rest, just refer to our Teacher Handbook!
