While it is a good idea to let kids learn to handle money when they are still kids, it is also necessary to educate them about saving money and investing on useful things, making a good research of the price, product, their durability, utility and worth. They should always be taught skills of holding respectable discussion forums among other kids, where every kid gets to be heard with equal respect. Money can make them or spoil them dangerously. They should not be too attached to money to lose interest in studies.
Kids of different ages can take up different projects either in a team or alone. the ideas are so many, that it cannot fit in this forum. I am sure many will come up with other ideas. Here are some which my friends have tried.
1. group of kids get together to clean up yards of neighbors,
2. lawn moving,
3. car washing,
4. tutoring younger kids, (this I did with a lot of personal benefits. I was very weak in math and I improved my skills by tutoring math skills to kids of lower grades and strengthening my own basic skills. Within a few weeks, I started helping other students in my own class, I loved math from then and I became a math genius)
5. My friend bought some stationary (pen & pencil boxes filled with all sharpner, eraser, marker, pencils & pen) wholesale and created a pyramid of customers each paying their introducers and a portion to the originator. This way each person gets the box free and the originator gets to sell all his stock.
6. I and my friend started a hand written monthly magazine which we circulated for a fee. Now a days with the advanced technology, kids can actually type on computers, include pictures and either print or send it as an e-magazine for a fee. The kids can actually get paid for advertisements by local shops and other traders of servces.
7. We made money organizing occasional fairs where we charged for each stall space and had two stalls ourselves selling either food, drinks or art, crafts etc. or games.
8. I started an agency where I collected a number of kids who were ready to work and a list of their skills and got a team to serch for needs in our neighbor hood of about 300 houses and within a month we were all in business.
9. Baby sitting,
10. Organize groups of kids to memorize multiplication tables, and other math formulas for a nominal fee.
11. Organize small exhibition to display and sell kid art and crafts.
