Abstract

Financial literacy is important knowledge that should be introduced to children from an early age to develop good money management habits. One way to implement financial literacy is through saving education for elementary school children. This activity was conducted through the Community Service Program (Kuliah Kerja Nyata/KKN), targeting elementary school children. The method used in this activity included socialization, material presentation, question-and-answer sessions, educational games, and quizzes about the importance of saving. The materials covered the definition of saving, the benefits of saving, ways to set aside pocket money, and how to distinguish between needs and wants. The results showed that the children participated enthusiastically in the educational activities and gained an understanding of the importance of saving from an early age. This financial literacy education is expected to foster children's awareness and interest in developing saving habits and managing money in a simple way. Through this activity, KKN students also played a role in introducing the importance of financial literacy as a valuable foundation for children in their daily lives
