Bluey is a kids’ show about a family of cartoon dogs. Each seven-minute episode shows simple, believable family dilemmas. It’s been described as a show for adults disguised as a kids’ show, and it’s taken the world by storm, having been streamed hundreds of millions of times since its release in 2018.

In this free, one-hour webinar, we share many ways to teach economics and personal finance using Bluey. We provide links to video clips from Bluey that we align with discussion questions and standards. We also include a classroom-tested active-learning lesson plan about the episode entitled “Markets.”

Everyone enjoys Bluey because it reflects our own lives so vividly. That’s why it’s such a good resource for thinking more deeply about why we make the decisions that we do. This webinar is a great resource for both teachers and families.
