Taking place during Talk Money Week, this 45-minute interactive session forms part of a wider campaign Money Ready will be taking part in throughout the week. We’ll be sharing content across our channels to start conversations about spending habits and encourage young people to explore how their digital hobbies connect to real-world money.
In the Big Money Lesson, our Money Ready trainer will be joined by special guest Dr Ed Southall from Oak National Academy to lead an interactive and action-packed session. Our expert facilitators will cover the following:
- Making good money choices online
- In-game spending and gambling features in gaming
- The power of advertising
- Social media influence
- Building healthy habits online
The Big Money Lesson is designed for school pupils aged 9-13 (approximately) and is aimed at the following school years:
- England & Wales: Year 5-8
- Scotland: P6-P7, S1-S2
- Northern Ireland: P6-P7, Year 8-9
Whole classes or groups as well as individuals are welcome to tune into the webinar.
Help your pupils become savvy, informed digital citizens — aware of how their online habits can impact their wellbeing and their wallets.

About the event
- The webinar will take place on Microsoft Teams. Please ensure you download the Teams app before the session, as some features may not work from the browser version. If you are unfamiliar with how to use Teams, you can read about it here.
- We’ll be using Mentimeter, an interactive presentation tool, during the session to make it a truly live and engaging experience! You’ll be prompted during the lesson when to use Mentimeter, but you (or the teacher/group leader) will need to have access to a separate device to open www.menti.com and insert the following code: 4130 9740
- If you don’t have access to a separate device or can’t use Mentimeter on the day, you can also use the Chat function in Teams to share your responses with us
