Money in 10 Questions: Kids’ Edition

The Bank of Canada Museum asked Canadian kids what they wanted to know about money. A whole lot, as it turned out. More than 800 thoughtful, complex and just plain fun questions flooded in from across the country. This exhibition answers 10 of these questions using a series of play-based activity stations. The answers provide a foundation for what kids need to know to help them manage their financial futures.

Try and save a million dollars. Balance a budget with a scale and weights. Be inspired by a kid entrepreneur to make money. Decide if bones can be money and explore forms of currency that are nearly as strange. You can even touch them—one is furry!

This exhibition provides a space for parents and children to play and learn, sparking conversations and inspiration.

This exhibition was developed by the Bank of Canada Museum. Tour management is provided by Ingenium – Canada’s Museums of Science and Innovation.
