This hard Kindergarten page presents budget stories about Ben, Mia, Pop, and Liz, each holding a few dollars to spend wisely. Kindergarten students choose the smart need first answer in four multiple choice problems, then complete five fill in the blank sentences about needs, coats, candy, water, and games.
