Lesson Content
Uses of Personal and Family Resources
Personal resources include things like our skills, time, and money. Family resources might include household items, shared finances, and the time family members contribute.
Personal resources help us achieve our goals and manage our daily lives. For example, our skills in cooking or organizing can help us maintain a well-run household.
Family resources are used for the benefit of all family members. For instance, using family funds for a vacation helps everyone enjoy a break together. It is important to manage these resources wisely to ensure that every family member’s needs are met and that we use what we have in the best possible way.

To evaluate the learning, the teacher asks pupils to:
- Define personal and family resources.
