Start teaching your kids money management skills when they are young. This academic year, the Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Authority (MPFA) has produced a new storybook on money management Adventure on Treasure Island and distributed 90,000 copies of it, covering over 75% of local kindergartens.

Through the adventurous journey of three characters on Treasure Island, the story introduces the important concepts of working, saving, spending and donating to help small children develop proper attitudes on financial management.

Children can put what they learnt into practice by playing the games in the storybook with their parents or teachers. The storybook also incorporates messages about MPF management and investment education in a special chapter focusing on the needs of parents and teachers.

Adventure on Treasure Island Online Parenting Photo Competition
In addition to storytelling, parents and their children can participate in an online parenting photo competition, organised to tie in with the publication of the storybook. To participate, parents share photos of their kids dressed up as the characters in the story and submit their comments after reading the storybook. The competition is now open for all to join. The deadline is 30 November 2011.

Adventure on Treasure Island Acting Competition Finale cum Prize Presentation
The MPFA also invites all kindergartens in Hong Kong to join the Acting Competition, in which they are encouraged to demonstrate creativity by producing a two-minute play based on the story Adventure on Treasure Island. The MPFA will organise workshops hosted by a professional drama troupe for children in the ten finalist kindergartens. The children and their parents will also be invited to join the Finale cum Prize Presentation to be held in late February, 2012. Moses Lui, an expert on financial education, and Raymond Cho, a father and renowned celebrity, will share their valuable experience and tips on teaching children how to develop a proper attitude towards money management.

The storybook is now available at the Youth Corner on the MPFA website.

If you are interested in getting the storybook and finger puppets (see picture), send an email to ead@mpfa.org.hk (please provide us with your name, contact number and mailing address, and state "to get the storybook Adventure on Treasure Island").

To educate children and teenagers about the concept of "saving for the future" and to make them aware of the importance of planning for the future, the MPFA has been organising various programmes on money management, which also disseminate the MPF message to their family.
