lemonade day lesson 1.1: SettinG GoalS
What makes this program especially effective is the way it incorporates the entire community —
the child, their mentor, the school or organization, and the local community — in a deliberate and
focused effort to teach children about financial literacy and entrepreneurship.
- Greg Malkin, Director, Entrepreneur Institute
Hunting Valley, OH
Bloomington, Indiana is very excited to be part of the Lemonade Day community and launch
our first event in May 2012. We are a community that values education, and the Lemonade Day
program offers a unique way of engaging our kids in the fun and excitement of operating a small
business. It builds character and provides the right mindset for our kids to show that they can do
anything if they put a plan together and make it happen.
- Steven E. Bryant, Executive Director, Gayle and Bill Cook Center for Entrepreneurship
Bloomington, IN
Lemonade Day was such a great experience for our middle school kids! Not only did it light the
entrepreneurial fire within their souls, it also taught them the value of collaboration. As a Principal
at Spring Forest in Houston, I am always looking for ways to connect the curriculum to the real
world. Lemonade Day is a natural connection!
- Shawn Bird, Ed.D., Principal, Spring Forest Middle School
Houston, TX
The buzz around school is Lemonade Day. The eigth graders are going to Washington, D.C. and
their goal is to raise enough money to offset the cost of the trip. The lesson of entrepreneurship,
investing and giving are lifelong lessons. We are so excited that we are involved in this venture.

How to Use This Manual
Thank you for choosing to lead your students through the Lemonade Day curriculum. Lemonade Day teaches youth vital
entrepreneurial skills using the model of a lemonade stand and moves beyond textbooks to engage and educate students on the
basics of starting a business in a fun and experiential way. The highlight of the program will take place on National Lemonade Day,
the first Sunday in May (check the date with your city), when every student opens a lemonade stand for business.
This curriculum will help you guide your students to get the most out of Lemonade Day. It is a step-by-step process with tools and
suggestions to deepen youths’ entrepreneurial experiences. Each lesson and accompanying activities correspond to the “Steps to
Success” in the Teen Entrepreneur Workbook. The curriculum is divided into seven cross-curricular lessons covering topics from
Setting Goals to Setting Up and Running Your Lemonade Stand.
Lemonade Day lessons include:
- Correlation to Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS), Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and
Jump $tartCoalition Personal Finance Education National Standards
- Personal financial literacy (PFL) extensions to address these standards
- Worksheets
- Activities incorporating use of technology
- Resources and suggested readings for class discussions
- Cooperative grouping and real world class activities
- Business vocabulary terms
- Internet resources and activities
- Suggestions for parental and community involvement
This curriculum incorporates a variety of reading strategies and problem solving activities that are student-centered with real
world applications. It is designed to be delivered during the Spring semester. Lessons one through six should be completed prior to
Lemonade Day in order to prepare students to operate their businesses. One lesson is after Lemonade Day to report and evaluate
students’ experiences and plans for future ventures.
Lemonade Day recognizes that you only have a short amount of time to cover a lot of information. The lessons can be modified
to fit the time allotted. Handouts are included for each lesson. In addition to this Guide for Teachers, each participating student
will receive a backpack complete with a Teen Entrepreneur Workbook and Mentor Guide. The Teen Entrepreneur Workbook has
exercises to accompany lessons in this guide and can serve as a record of students’ participation and entrepreneurial journey.
The Mentor Guide is a resource for parents, mentors or other grownups who work with your students. More resources can be found
at LemonadeDay.org.
We hope you find this curriculum a valuable resource that is easy to use
and enhances your instruction. Please visit LemonadeDay.org for the latest
resources. We welcome your feedback and stories. Most importantly, we
hope that you and your students have fun, and that they make lots of money!

warm-up:
- Welcome students to their first Lemonade Day Lesson. Congratulate them on their choice to participate in this project which will allow
them to make their own money by starting, owning and operating their very own business!
- Announce the date of Lemonade Day (check the date for your city) and let students know that their commitment and hard work will
pay off; not only in actual cash but also in learning skills that they can use for the rest of their lives!
- Ask for a show of hands as to how many students have participated in Lemonade Day before or who have operated a lemonade stand.
Do a quick whip around asking those students how much money they made with their lemonade stands.
- Review behavioral expectations for Lemonade Day Lessons. Include the expectation that students come prepared to every lesson with
their own:
• Writing utensil
• Entrepreneur Workbook
Activity 1: KWL & Video Viewing
Objective: SWBAT explain the purpose of Lemonade Day.
- Ask students to fill out the “K” and “W” columns on the KWL Chart found on their Lesson 1.1 Worksheet: Setting Goals on page 5.

Q: Do I get to keep all of my own money?
A: Yes, you keep everything you earn. In the spirit of a true business, we encourage you to open a savings account, pay back your
investor and make a further investment in your community by donating a portion of your profits to a charity of your choice.
Q: What time do I have to be there and where do I go?
A: Lemonade Day is held on the first Sunday in May (check the date for your city), so we ask that you plan to run your business
on that day. However, the location of your lemonade stand and the time you’ll run your business is entirely up to you. We will
learn later how to choose the best location.
Assessment:
- Prompt students to answer the question on their worksheet, “In your own words what is the purpose of Lemonade Day?”
- Prompt students to share their responses with their partner, call on volunteers to share answers with the class.

∙ Circulate checking to see that students are correctly multiplying the quantity times the cost per unit.
- Prompt students to return to the Budgeting section of their Entrepreneur Workbook and begin completing their own budget; let
students know to fill in whatever they know, they can add on as they go. Discuss how in a later lesson they will look at their actual
expenses and see how they compare to their estimates.
- Instruct the students to develop a list of their Lemonade Ingredients & Stand Supplies.
- Estimated # of cups: Have the students estimate how many cups they plan to sell and enter in Worksheet Two on page 5 of the
workbook. Some items to consider include how many cups they think can sell in an hour and how many hours they will be open.
- Supplies: Prompt students to complete the budget for consumable and capital equipment supplies in their workbook (Worksheet One).
To complete this worksheet, students will need a Lemonade Recipe and the prices for items in the list they developed. Students can
bring in recipes or search online. They will need to determine quantities based on their recipe and the # of cups they plan to sell. To
know how much things cost, they can take a trip to the grocery store, research online or check weekly newspapers. Discuss that they
may be able to borrow some items (ex. table).

and enter in Worksheet Two in their workbook.
- Selling Price: Have the students decide what price they will sell their lemonade for and enter in Worksheet Two (a starting point could
be to divide the number of cups from above into their financial goal; they should also discuss whether it’s reasonable – do they think
people will pay that amount for lemonade).
9
- Complete the remaining questions in Worksheet Two to compute profit per cup and how many cups they need to sell to meet their goal.
- Review: Have them compare the number of cups they need to sell to the number they estimated at the beginning. At this point, they
may need to adjust their budget so that they can plan to achieve their goal. If needed to reach their goal, they could adjust number of
cups sold, look for ways to reduce expenses or charge more for their lemonade. In deciding how to adjust their budget, they must also
look at other factors. If they decide to plan to sell more cups, is that number reasonable? If they decide to sell more cups, they may
need to increase their expenses to make more lemonade. If they decide to increase price, will people pay that amount? If these items
are not reasonable, they may need to adjust their financial goal.
PFL Extension: Sales Tax
- Create a class list of items that are eligible for sales tax and those that are not (most food is exempt).
- Demonstrate how to include sales tax in the total cost column of taxable items (multiply the total cost by 1.08).
- Technology Option (online at LemonadeDay.org): Guide students to complete the Planning and Budgeting tab on the Lemonade Day
Teen Spreadsheet.
Closure
- Announce to students that in the next lesson, they will have an opportunity to design their own advertisements so family, friends, teachers
and other community members will be informed of the date, time and location of their lemonade business. Explain that generating this sort
of interest is extremely important for any successful business.
- Students should bring materials such as markers, crayons, colorful paper and poster board(s) to the next lesson so they are prepared to
create their advertisements.

ACTIVITY 3: REFLECTIONS & FUTURE PLANS – FREE ENTERPRISE
Objectives:
SWBAT explain the choices people in the U.S. free enterprise system can make about earning, spending and saving money and
where to live and work.
SWBAT describe how the free enterprise system works, including supply and demand; and
SWBAT give examples of the benefits of the free enterprise system such as choice and opportunity.
SWBAT describe how the free enterprise system works in the United States; and
SWBAT give examples of the benefits of the free enterprise system in the United States.
- Ask students to list the decisions they made as an entrepreneur on Lemonade Day.
- After writing their own answer, have students share their answers with an elbow partner.
- Have three students share their answers with the class.
- H ave each student answer the following questions about choices they made for Lemonade Day.
They are to answer in complete sentences.
1. What type of product did you produce and why did you choose this product?
2. What set your product apart from other similar products?
3. How did you produce your product? What were the steps involved? What tools did you use?
4. Where did you set up your stand and why did you choose that location?
5. How did you decide who would receive your product? How was it distributed?
6. What did you charge and why did you select that price?
7. Did you change the price of the product? Why or why not?
- H ave the students compare their answers with two or three other students. Next, have the students summarize the similarities
of their answers in two or three sentences. Then, the teacher asks the students if they know what a free enterprise system
means. Ask them what each word means and then put together. Let the students discuss with an elbow partner.
- A fter asking for answers from several students, provide the following explanation. The key component of the free enterprise
system is that it means that people have the right to own property and to make choices on what they produce and what
they buy. Entrepreneurs produce goods and services to make a profit. Ask the students what property they owned in their
Lemonade Stand.
- T ell the students that you are going to now discuss how they answered the questions at the beginning of class. Ask each
question and guide the discussion to show how the free enterprise system operates. The possible answers are:
1. T he answers will vary. They may have chosen their products because they thought they would sell. Point out that in a nonfree enterprise system the government may tell them what to produce and they have no choice.
2. A nswers vary but guide the students to understand that they had the opportunity to choose their product’s characteristics.
There are countries in which people are told what work they will do and how they will produce the product.
3. E xplore with the students how they could have used manual methods such as stirring with a spoon or they could have used
a blender and machinery. Encourage them to take this further to truly look at how they produced the product. Point out that
in a free enterprise system the entrepreneurs are encouraged to use technology. Ask for more examples of how they could
have used technology. (Answers could include tablet, calculator, refrigerator, printer to provide receipts.)
4. E ncourage deeper learning by asking if the location was good—why or why not. Ask if there would have been a better
location and why. If it is better, what are reasons for not opening a stand in that location. Answers could include the
location might be expensive or potentially be hit by a storm, etc.
5. T he key answer is to have the students realize that the person who receives the product is someone who can afford to buy
it. Discuss that in some countries they may all receive products for maybe even a cheaper price, but the products are all
basically the same and many not be what you want—but that is the only choice. And, they may not be allowed to shop in
certain stores. In other words, the consumer or buyer has limited recourses from which to choose.
42
6. Let them discuss the questions. Then, ask them what they would have done if no one had come to the stand. What if many people
had come? Then, discuss how if no one came you could encourage people to stop. The strategy would be to lower the cost. If many
people had come the price would have gone up. Ask them to explain why.
- H ave the student review with a new partner the initial question of the class: What decisions did you make as an entrepreneur
on Lemonade Day? Ask them to add to their answers.
- A sk what the entrepreneurs hoped to receive in their marketplace. The answer is that they wish to make a profit which means
the value it costs to produce the product is less than the price they received.
- H ave the students write down the role that the consumer plays in the marketplace. Have them record their answers then ask
three to answer. The answers should deal with how they made choices as to what to buy.
- Have the students hold their thumbs up for up or yes and down for no.
- A sk the students what would happen if the price went up. Guide them to answer that the consumers would be unhappy and
would buy less of the product. They need to show down thumb meaning that demand would go down.
- A sk the students: What would you do as a business owner if people stopped buying the goods and services? Guide them to
answer that lowering prices can encourage more to buy your product. When people buy a good or service this is known as
demand. Explain that providing goods and services for people to purchase is called supply. If they still cannot sell anything
they may go out of business.
- Ask what would happen if the prices then came down. The buyer would want to buy more.
- A sk who is controlling the types and quality of goods and services provided. Guide the answers to be that the producer or
business produces/supplies what they think the buyer/consumer will buy or demand. The consumer demands products that
have characteristics and prices that are attractive to them.
- Ask the students to give real life examples of how the buyers and sellers control what is produced and how much is produced.
- Prompt students to complete Lesson 7.3 Worksheet: US FREE ENTERPRISE SYSTEM on page 47 of Teacher’s Guide.
- H ave the students complete the chart in small groups and have each student put his or her name on the sheet. Discuss the
answers with the class.
Closure:
Have the students work in groups of three to draw a picture or a cartoon showing the characteristics of the free enterprise
system for Lemonade Day and for the U.S.
- D iscuss the benefits of a free enterprise system. Guide the students to discuss they are able to make decisions as suppliers to
make a profit. Buyers can use their pocket book to buy or not buy products. What they buy will be supplied and if they do not
demand the products, they will no longer be made.

Objectives: SWBAT plan future entrepreneurial activities.
- T ell students now that they have some experience as entrepreneurs to imagine themselves accomplishing something as an
entrepreneur in the future. Ask them to think of what other talents or skills they have that they could use to start a profitable

A check register will help you keep up with your expenses and the money you make. Fill out the check register for Sal’s Lemonade Stand.
Sal’s Uncle Mark invested $200 in his Lemonade stand. Sal then went to the grocery store and spent $77.68 on supplies to make his
lemonade. He needed cups and napkins, so he went to a discount store and spend $35.89. When it came time to build his stand he went to
the hardware and lumber store. He needed $112.65 for materials to build his stand. Compare this amount to his balance. Sal had to borrow
some additional money from his parents. He borrowed $50. Then he purchased his materials to build his stand.
On Lemonade Day, Sal sold 342 glasses of lemonade for $1.50 each. How much money did he deposit in his account? How much did he repay
his investors? How much did he save? How much did he donate to a charity?

It all started with a Turtle.
When entrepreneur and philanthropist Michael Holthouse’s 10-year-old daughter Lissa insisted on doing a lemonade stand
to earn money for a turtle, Lemonade Day was born. Here, packed into a fun and memorable experience, is an extraordinary
way to learn how life and business really works.
That day opened his eyes to a way that he could share both his passion for youth and his experience in building successful
companies, to impact young people everywhere. Prepared 4 Life (P4L) is an organization devoted to helping prepare youth
for life through fun, proactive and experiential programs infused with life skills, character, and entrepreneurship. Lemonade
Day is P4L’s flagship program.
“We imagine a day with over one million lemonade stands where every part of our community gets involved.
A day devoted to the future of our youth and showing them how to achieve their own American Dream.
Set a goal, make a plan, work that plan, and achieve your dream. It’s all here in a simple little lemonade
stand. Get involved and help change the world!”
-Michael Holthouse
