The world of finance bewilders many adults, so it's not surprising that kids often find it incomprehensible. Money Rock tackles subjects like budgeting, taxes, interest, and the stock market with simple definitions, fun animation, and lots of catchy music. The country-inspired "Dollars and Sense" explores the concept of interest with respect to saving and borrowing, "$7.50 Once a Week" teaches money management, and the bluesy "Where the Money Goes" covers living expenses and how to control them. A vaudeville act featuring "Tax Man Max" looks at government spending, then "Walkin' on Wall Street" takes a jazzy glimpse of the stock market. The historical development of bartering and its modern applications supply the thematic material of "This for That," a hungry dinosaur in "Tyrannosaurus Debt" personifies our national debt, and the complicated process initiated by the simple writing of a check is broken down in "The Check's in the Mail." If all this sounds potentially dry, even mind-numbing, recall how the potentially dull subject of grammar sprang to life with similar treatment in Grammar Rock. Rest assured that this 1998 addition to the multi-Emmy Award winning Schoolhouse Rock! series is both informative and exciting. --Tami Horiuchi

Great for younger kids - |
Schoolhouse Rock! Review |
|
I bought this to show to my jr high and high school students on "do nothing" days. It's a little too juvinile for them, but they always end up learning something from it. |

Money Rocks! - |
Schoolhouse Rock! Review |
|
This is a great video for teaching kids about money. I used to watch Schoolhouse Rock on Saturday mornings. I now have the opportunity to pass it on to my son. He has learned principals from this video that he will never forget. It is very educational and assists him in learning while not being taught in a long drawn out boring way. I would recommend this to anyone who needs help laying a foundation to build upon for their family for a long time. |

COOL- pair it with SCRIPTURE ROCK - |
Schoolhouse Rock! Review |
|
Very cool. Kids need to know about good money management skills, and how better than with awesome fun songs. This and the SCRIPTURE ROCK together give a balanced view of what kids need today. |

Money Rock: great discussion-starter & provocative - |
Schoolhouse Rock! Review |
|
I was totally overwhelmed by the prospect of explaining to my 6-year-old what money was and why I couldn't just 'get it from the machine.' This video was great: it's fun for adults as well as kids, and makes it possible to segue into discussions about allowances, presidents, history, and budgeting. Even Wall Street gets a mention. The music is unexpectedly good. Paired with the game 'Moneywise Kids' and 'Monopoly Junior', it's a great part of a little 'home curriculum' on finance, even if you're just on addition and subtraction. Can't recommend it more highly as a place to start. |

Schoolhouse Rock! Review |
|
How about DOLLAR COST AVERAGING? Interest? The National Debt? You have to buy this. Economics courses in college were never this interesting. |
