Third graders are between the ages of 7-9year. It is not a bad idea to introduce Bitcoin to them as a currency and highlight some of the benefits of Bitcoin. It will also be nice to relate some maths topic that deals with investment to Bitcoin during classes. But arranging a class to teach them about Bitcoin is going to the extreme. Children at this stage should focus on their school scheme of work and building interpersonal skills. Children should be allowed to build their cognitive and emotional lives. They should be allowed to enjoy their childhood by playing games and relaxing with friends. You have good intentions, but I think it is not the right time for the children to be exposed to Bitcoin.

Beautiful, I love it when you talk to children about Bitcoin and they start asking you questions with all their curiosity.  An Italian user wrote and then translated into many languages ​​a book he illustrated that could be right for you.

Try it you will be amazed by its simplicity

The early you start, the more time you get to understand the thing. This is a great thing that they know about it already. This is what we need if we want to create a generation that understand the concept of freedom and accepts Bitcoin. Never too late when you start early. As they say, practice makes you perfect. So more time equals more experience. It's going to be great to see what they will do with this information in the future.

They must have heard it somewhere growing up as a kid, either on the internet or social media which kids of nowadays are exposed to at a very young age. Since they already have knowledge about it from now, learning about it more will be easier for them because their brain is still young and accumulative at the moment. They’re lucky to be this exposed and able to learn about financial literacy at this stage.


That’s great that you’re planning to have another class with them again, although just take it slow and steadily and don’t move away from the scope of work too much to focus totally on teaching them about bitcoin. You can inter switch as the class is going to give example where need be about bitcoin and how it relates to what they’re learning at that moment in time.

Agree. It will only cause a distraction to them. Kids in such grade normally just play around. They are probably more interested in you teaching them how to sing and dance My stupid heart than Bitcoin but they may have heard of it.

They may learn basics but after it, they'd still be back to playing games on their phone and TikTok. 5 years soon all they know will just be the Fednow or that Unicoin. 

It's a good idea to introduce virtual money like Bitcoin and compare it to fiat money.
If they already know enough about Bitcoin, that's good news. they can now get information from anywhere easily.
Social media is where they look for everything.

I hope you can include photos of your teaching activities related to the topic you are discussing, so that it doesn't look like a fictional story.
Because many stories like this are only hoping for merit and will eventually be ignored.

Nowadays kids have internet access on their tab, iPad and also they use their parent's smartphones to watch youtube and tiktok. They might watch videos about bitcoin on their digital devices there is nothing to be shocked with that. Actually, if their parent are into bitcoin technology and talk and watch videos about bitcoin they will follow them and learn about the technology.

That sounds like a wonderful experience and I like it.
It's always great to see children engaging with financial concepts and learning about Bitcoin.
It's particularly impressive that these third graders already had some knowledge about Bitcoin, which is still a relatively new and complex concept for many adults.  By teaching this, we can help them build important skills and knowledge that will serve them well throughout their lives, and who knows, might some of these third graders will grow up to be future Bitcoin experts or entrepreneurs.

Not bad for an age of 8-9 will have an interest in Bitcoin, but IMO it's important to explain the concept in simple terms and emphasize the risks and potential benefits.  It's also important to make it clear that investing in Bitcoin is not a guaranteed way to make money, it might be good if just starting with basic concepts such as saving money, budgeting, and spending wisely.  As they get older and gain more understanding of this digital finance.

Lol, I have niece and nephews at 8 years old talking about Elon Musk and Bitcoin as well, so I'm surprised by this. The transfer of knowledge is really very quick because of social medias right now.

But for us who hasn't experience this obviously, if there are talking about money and investment, I think monopoly is the biggest influence to us. Even the author of rich dad poor dad, Robert Kiyosaki said that his rich dad thought him about money thru the concept of monopoly games. But as far as bitcoin goes, this are just kids, too young for them to really understand it, just the social influence from media that they heard but for sure their young minds are not into it at 8 years old.
