Before you play

Game teaching guide

What children will practise

Understand what banks do, the difference between interest on savings and interest on loans, what tax is and what it pays for, and what inflation means, so children can handle and save money with understanding.

What's in the worksheet

6 multiple-choice questions, 3 options each - Banks take deposits and lend money - Deposit interest is what the bank pays savers - Loan interest is what borrowers pay on top of the principal - Tax is money paid to the state, used for roads, schools and hospitals - Inflation means prices rise and money buys less

How to use it in class

Use after teaching banks and tax; about 6 minutes. - For questions 2 and 3, put number examples on the board: deposit 100 baht and get 101 back; borrow 100 and repay 105 - For question 6, ask whether a snack children buy often has gone up in price, linking inflation to real life - Works well in teams; have each team explain why the other options are wrong - Play it linked to the class to record results in the mark book.

Common sticking points

- Questions 2 and 3: children mix up who pays whom; question 2's distractor (money the saver pays the bank) is exactly reversed; always ask which way the money flows - Question 6: 'everyone has more money and buys more' sounds pleasant and children may think inflation means lots of money; explain it is prices that swell - Question 4: some think traffic fines are tax; point out a fine is a penalty, whereas everyone pays tax
