7 – 9 years: Basic financial thinking

Imagine that you have a magical coin in your hand. If you could use it only once, what would you spend it on? I would buy something I have long wished for.
I would give it to my parents so they can handle it the best way they can.
I would try to exchange it for more coins.
I would set it aside for later, in case of an emergency.
I would give it to someone who needs it more than I do.

Imagine that you have opened a mysterious chest full of coins. What will you do with them? I will divide them among my friends and family.
I'll keep them so I'll always have enough.
I will come up with a way to multiply them.
I will buy a big gift for myself.
I will use them for something that will help more people.

If you could choose, what way of earning money would you like the most? Receive them regularly for good behavior.
Inventing and selling something that people desire.
Save your coins and watch them pile up.
Play a game where you can win money.
Giving useful advice to people and helping them.

If you had the opportunity to create your own banknote, what would be written on it? "Happiness is more important than money."
"Every coin can be multiplied."
"Think ahead, spend wisely."
"It doesn't matter the value, but what you do with it."
"Money should serve people, not the other way around."

If you could spend money on only one of these things, what would you choose? A huge portion of sweets.
Something useful that will last a long time.
Something I can sell for more money.
Something that will help me learn something.
Something to make someone else happy.

Imagine that someone gives you five coins every day. What would you do with them? Every day, I would buy something small.
I would save them for something bigger.
I would give a few coins to my friends.
I would be looking for a way to breed them.
I would use them for something that helps multiple people.

Imagine you have a magical piggy bank that always returns what you put into it. What would you put in it? Coins, so that I can pick them later.
Cash, so that I always have a backup.
Small toys or valuable items.
An image of what I want to buy.
A list of my dreams that I want to save for.

Imagine that you opened a small shop where you sell something you know how to make. What would you sell? Something tasty that people like to eat.
Something nice that people can give as a gift.
Something useful that people need.
Something I can make cheaply and sell for a higher price.
Something that helps people and improves their day.

If you could decide what role money plays in life, what would you choose? They are for us to buy what we want.
They are there for us to take care of them and not lose them.
They are a tool we can use to achieve goals.
There are things that allow us to do great things.
They are just one of the many things that make life better.

Imagine that you have the opportunity to invest money into something that will later bring you more. What would you invest in? Into something I can sell for a profit.
To learn something new.
To create something that helps people.
Saving for a big dream.
To donating to those in need.
