an entrepreneur!
Vol. 33, No. 8
An entrepreneur
(pro-nounced
on-treh-preh-noor)
is a person who sees
a way to earn some
money by solving a
problem.
For example, lots of
kids have learned
that thirsty people
on hot days will pay
for a cold glass of
lemonade.
Write out a business idea for each of the problems below.
Your neighbors are
going on a two week
vacation. They have
two cats and a large
fish tank.

An elderly neighbor
has a hard time
getting to the store.
She also has lots of
leaves and weeds in
her yard.
You hear neighbors
complaining about
how much they
dislike washing their
windows and other
weekend chores.
Ta lk to your family

th a
at you can earn a
litt le money doing
spe
ecial chores or by
gat thering items for a
yar rd sale. Do they
hav
ve other ideas?
Draw a line to match each puzzle piece.
One way to make money is
to get a job. But that is not
possible for everyone.
Oftentimes, kids can’t get
jobs because they are too
young to work.
Look through the
newspaper and
make a list of all
the businesses
mentioned. Group
these businesses into
categories such as
restaurants, stores
and manufacturers.
But that hasn’t stopped kids
around the world from
finding clever ways of
earning some cash by
becoming entrepreneurs.
It takes some creativity and
patience, but you can be an
entrepreneur, too!
