Suggested Money Lesson Plan for this Worksheet

 

Give students a lesson on credit and credit cards. Explain how credit cards are used, and why people use credit cards.

Credit cards are plastic cards issued by a bank or other business allowing the holder of the card to purchase goods and services without using cash, also called buying on credit.  They allow you to purchase things that you may not currently have the money to buy.

When you use a credit card, the credit company that issued the credit card pays the store.  Later, you will get a bill in the mail from your credit card company for the amount you purchased.  At that time, you can either pay the bill in full, or only pay a minimum amount, and wait till later to finish paying.  If you wait till later, you will owe the credit card company interest on the amount that you do not pay.
