I just NEED to buy!
A NEED is something you must have in
order to survive or function. You need
shelter, clothing, food, water and sometimes
things like medicine or school supplies.
I think you
mean WANT
to buy! You
NEED to
learn the
difference!
Can you find the three identical
piggy banks? Time yourself.
Then have a family member try
it. Who found them the fastest?
ritter needs some help sticking
to his saving plan. Write NEED
next to each of the items below
he must buy for his health or
safety. Then write WANT by
things that might be fun to have,
but that he could do without.
A WANT is something you would like
to have, but can live without. A music
player, computer, television and bike
are wants not needs.
Look around your room. Make a list of all the things you can see from your doorway.
Then, write W next to each thing that can be considered a WANT. Write an N next to each
item that can be considered a NEED. Do you have more WANTS or NEEDS in your room?
Look at these stores. Check the box above each store to show if it contains more
things that you would WANT, NEED or BOTH. Below each store, list a few things it
might sell that you would NEED.
