About These Printables
Every printable here is classroom-ready: download, print, and teach. The collection spans money math and coin work for early grades, sorting cards and posters that make a concept stick, readers that walk students through a real pay stub, lease or credit report, budgeting and spending practice, print-and-play games, and the play money and forms you need to run a classroom economy.

Read Real Documents
Read a Pay Stub
A document-literacy pack for grades 7–12 and adult ed: a labeled pay stub naming all fourteen parts, worksheets to find the information and work gross pay down to take-home, three spot-the-error stubs, and an answer key. Free sample; full pack for members.
Read a Bank Statement
A document-literacy pack for grades 6–12 and adult ed: a labeled bank statement naming all fourteen parts, worksheets to find the information and prove the ending balance from the transactions, three spot-the-error statements including a charge the customer never made, and an answer key. Free sample; full pack for members.
Read a Receipt
A document-literacy pack for grades 4–8: a labeled receipt diagram naming all twelve parts, worksheets to find the information and check the math, three spot-the-error receipts, and an answer key. Free sample; full pack for members.
Read a Utility Bill
A document-literacy pack for grades 6–12 and adult ed: a labeled electric bill naming all fourteen parts, worksheets to find the information and rebuild the whole bill from two meter readings, three spot-the-error bills including a service the customer never signed up for, and an answer key. Free sample; full pack for members.
Read a Medical Bill & EOB
Every visit makes two papers: an Explanation of Benefits from the insurer (“this is not a bill”) and a bill from the provider. Students label both, compute what they really owe, and catch the billing errors — the amount due must match the EOB. Free 4-page sample; the full pack has both labeled diagrams, a reconcile worksheet, three spot-the-error bills, and a teacher key.
Read a Lease
A lease is the first money document you sign — and most people never read it. Students label every clause of a residential lease, work out what signing really costs (move-in cash, the whole-term rent, a late fee, the notice deadline), and catch three leases that contradict themselves before anyone picks up the pen. Free 4-page sample; the full pack has the labeled diagram, a clause glossary, three worksheets, a spot-the-problem page, a keep-this checklist, and a teacher key.
Read a Credit Report
A landlord reads it before the keys, a lender before the loan — and almost nobody reads their own. Students label every section of a credit report, work out the numbers it refuses to total (credit utilization, total debt, what the file costs every month, how old the oldest account is), and catch the three errors people actually find on their files. Free 4-page sample; the full pack has the labeled diagram, a glossary, three worksheets, a keep-this page on getting and fixing your own report, and a two-page teacher key.
Read a 1099: Gig & Freelance Income
Three documents, three different totals for the same year — a 1099-NEC, a 1099-K, and a gig platform’s earnings summary — and the number you actually need is on none of them. Labeled forms, a bank reconciliation, and the income that arrives with no form at all. Free 4-page sample; the full pack has both anatomies, five worksheets and a teacher key.
Read a Financial Aid Award Letter
It arrives in spring of senior year and decides where a student can afford to go — and almost nobody is taught to read it. Students label every part of a college aid offer, tell free grants from a work-study job from loans they repay, work out the net price the letter never plainly prints, compare two offers by real cost, and catch three traps that cost families thousands. Free 4-page sample; the full pack has the labeled diagram, a glossary, Check the Numbers, Compare Two Offers, three spot-the-error letters, a keep-this take-home page, and a two-page teacher key.
Sorting Cards & Concept Posters
Needs vs. Wants Sorting Cards + Posters
A hands-on card sort for teaching needs vs. wants. Free 12-card sample; the full pack has 48 cards, posters, mats, a recording sheet, and a teacher key.
Goods vs. Services Sorting Cards + Posters
A hands-on card sort for teaching goods, services, and the many purchases that are both. Free 12-card sample; the full pack has 48 picture cards, mats, posters, a recording sheet, and a teacher key.
Fixed vs. Variable Expenses Sorting Cards + Posters
A hands-on card sort for teaching how an expense behaves — fixed, variable, or the bills that arrive every month but never cost the same twice. Free 12-card sample; the full pack has 48 picture cards, mats, posters, a recording sheet, and a teacher key.
Debit vs. Credit Sorting Cards + Posters
A hands-on card sort for the difference students most often get wrong: a debit card spends your own money now, a credit card borrows the bank’s to pay back later — and most everything else is true of both. Free 12-card sample; the full pack has 48 feature cards, three mats, posters, a recording sheet, and a teacher key.
Assets vs. Liabilities Sorting Cards + Posters
A hands-on card sort that separates what you OWN from what you OWE — and breaks the misconception that “if I own it, it’s an asset.” The Both pile holds a mortgaged home or a financed car, on both sides at once. Free 12-card sample; the full pack has 48 cards, three mats, posters, a recording sheet, a Build a Net Worth Statement worksheet, and a teacher key.
Income vs. Expense Sorting Cards + Posters
A hands-on card sort of 48 everyday money events — did money come IN, go OUT, or only move? The Neither pile holds savings deposits, change and refunds, and breaks the misconception “money I moved is money I made.” Free 12-card sample; the full pack has 48 cards, three mats, posters, a recording sheet, a Money In, Money Out worksheet, and a teacher key.
Financial Literacy Posters + Money Word Wall
Eight illustrated money anchor charts plus a 44-card word wall for grades 1-6. Free sample; the full pack has all 8 posters and every word-wall card.

Games, Decks & Icebreakers

Make It to Payday: Budget Board Game
A print-and-play budget game for grades 5–9. Everyone plays the same month — same pay, same bills — three days at a turn, and finds out that a budget which balances on paper can still fail on the 14th. Life Cards move dates, never dollars. No dice, no play money. Free 6-page sample; the full game adds both decks, the worked month and a teacher key.
Spot the Scam Scenario Deck
Thirty real-looking messages — texts, emails, voicemails, letters and pop-ups — to cut apart and sort into Scam, Verify First and Safe. The honest lesson is that you often can’t tell from the message, so students stop asking “is this real?” and start asking “what is it asking me to do, and can I do it a safer way?” Free 12-card sample; the full deck adds all 30 cards, three sorting mats, anchor-chart posters, a recording sheet, a How to Verify take-home page and a teacher answer key.
