The guide, one in a series of elementary level economics and consumer education teaching resources, is designed for kindergarten and first grade levels. The guide identifies objectives for economics and consumer education, offers a glossary of relevant terms, lists general audiovisual and print resources, and outlines specific learning activities to achieve each objective in terms of specific economic concepts. The concepts include aspects of the individual as the basis of our economic system, component parts of the economic system (exchange and money, consumption, production, distribution), and consumer education topics such as banking, budgeting, and taxes. The bulk of the guide contains class activities listed according to specific concepts. For example, to learn the difference between producers of goods and producers of services, students are shown pictures of a farmer, baker, pilot, and fire fighter and are asked to explain the differences in their activities. Each series of activities is accompanied by a listing of children's literature resources and Florida state-adopted textual resources to supplement the concepts being emphasized. (AV)
