Online Parenting and Educational Campaign

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority organized an online parenting and educational campaign in December 2020, which aimed at helping kindergarten (K1 – K3) and junior primary school students (P1 – P2) to learn basic money management concepts, banking and payment services. The campaign was successfully concluded and well received with more than 1,500 entries for the colouring & drawing competition. For more details about the campaign, please visit the campaign page in Chinese.

In the campaign page, parents and kids can watch a series of animation videos and attempt web-based games featuring a dedicated mascot called Dollar Pig and the Kam's family to bring out messages on money management topics in an interesting and a light-hearted manner. To further play to learn, parents and kids can download and complete the worksheets, and take the challenge of using recycled materials to make DIY financial educational toys by following demo videos. You can also view the winning entries of the colouring and drawing competition there.

Moreover, there are new initiatives rolled out as sustaining initiatives for the campaign, including:

• An animation video enabling you to join with the Kam’s family to visit the HKMA Information Centre virtually;
• A parenting financial education workshop on 11 September 2021 where participating parents and kids learnt simple money management concepts through hand-making a multi-function toy and sharing by guest speakers. The template and instruction guide for the toy are available for download;
• An online parenting and educational campaign for the special vacation in 2021/22 school year to bring out the basic concepts of money management with fun through expert sharing, animation videos, games and story-telling; and
• A parenting financial education workshop on 7 January 2023 before the Chinese New Year, which is a great opportunity for participating parents and kids to learn basic money management concepts through DIY a dual-purpose Chinese New Year candy box cum money saving box and professional sharing. The template and instruction guide for the Chinese New Year candy box is available for download.
