Re-count about ASB

 L.I to stop. Think and make smart decisions with money.

\Today someone from the bank came to PBS to teach half of my class on" How to save money" and that person's name was Marlon.

In the beginning Marlon was asking us questions on" What is the bank" and we said that the bank holds our money and keeps it safe. After he talked about" What is the bank" we played a game, and that game was called" Holiday".

So first Marlon told us to get into 4 to 5 groups. After we finished getting into our groups he told us to make a group name and my group name was called" The money maker's". After we all made our group name, Marlon gave each group 1800$ to spend our holiday on. The holiday we were all going on was a trip to Fiji. And if we needed more money we could use the Banks money which is the Credit card. But if we used the banks money then we would have needed to pay them back. But if we had no more money left then that would mean were in debt, and we all know that being I debt is bad.

The Categories we used to spend our money on was Passport, Insurance, Accommodation, Activities, Plane Ticket and the food.

But when we finished our activities in the game we got hungry but the food places in the hotel weren't open so we went to" Joe's Fish & Chip" Shop, But when we ate their food we got food poised so we went to the hospital, But when we finished in the hospital they said we had to pay for the hospital bill, but none of the groups had enough money but me and my group had insurance so we didn't have to do anything, because we had insurance. But for the other groups Marlon said " Ok so if the dice rolls on 1 2 3 then you have to pay the hospital bill, but if it land on 5 or 6 then you don't have to pay for the hospital bill" So most of the groups got 5 and 6 but only one group got 3, so that means that they had to pay for the hospital bill, but they didn't have enough so they were  in debt.

But if we got the most expensive stuff then we would have got more points, but me and my group only had 6 points and 300$'s left.

I really enjoyed this game because it was challenging and it was about how to save your money.

And remember Stop. Think. And make Smart Decisions with money.
