A Punny Explanation of Savings Bonds

Last weekend I was talking with a friend about Christmas presents for our kids when I sarcastically said, "just give them savings bonds, that's what every kid wants." A day later I was still thinking about that conversation when I wondered if kids even know what a savings bond is. That thought prompted me to search on YouTube for a kid-friendly explanation of savings bonds. That's when I found Bond. Savings Bond. 

Bond. Savings Bond. is a pun-filled explanation of what savings bonds are, how they work, and why they're generally safe investments. The video also explains what junk bonds are, why they're risky, and why some people buy them despite the risk. As you might have guessed from the title, the video is full of fun James Bond puns. 

Applications for Education
Bond. Savings Bond. could be a good video to use to introduce or recap a high school lesson about basic savings and investment methods. If you and your student like this video, you might want to check out some of the other videos produced by Two Cents, a PBS Learning Studios production.
