Natwest - MoneySense for Schools - 11 to 14 - We're in Business - Grand opening!

There's a new film out that you and your mates really want to see. Do you:

Find out when everyone's free, browse the internet to get film times and the address of a good place to meet for a snack beforehand, then call the local bus company to check you'll make the last bus home

Ask your parents to ring the cinema for you to find out when the film is on

Hope your friends will find out all the details for you

2

You all head off to see the film, which is rated 15. When you arrive, the box office staff won't let you in as they say you don't look old enough - even though you're all 15 and have ID. Do you:

Step forward and put your case calmly, clearly and politely to the manager

Let your friends take the lead but chip in now and again to back them up

Hang around at the back of your group while your mates do the talking

3

It's your friend's birthday and a big group of you has gone out for a meal to celebrate. At the end of the evening the bill comes. Everyone has had differently-priced meals and no one is sure what they owe. Do you:

Take charge - using your phone as a calculator you add up accurate individual totals for everyone, including a percentage as a tip

Estimate roughly how much you owe

Let your friends work it all out for you - adding up isn't your strong point

4

Your teachers decide to let you organise a talent contest to raise money for charity, as long as the students fund and manage the whole thing. You've joined the organising committee and been put in charge of ticket sales. Do you:

Keep accurate records so you know how many tickets you've sold and how much money you've made down to the last penny

Have only a rough idea of how many you've sold and how much you've made, but keep it all in a safe place so you can add it all up when you get round to it

Misplace half the cash and lose track of how many tickets you've sold, which means you end up selling more than you were supposed to

5

Your parents are away and a couple of mates are coming over for the evening to watch some DVDs. It's dinner time and everyone's hungry. Do you:

Consult a recipe book, nip to the local supermarket, then whip up a gourmet feast!

Dig out some frozen ready meals from the freezer and make some chocolate crispie cakes for desert.

Order some pizza.

6

Would you rather eat:

Pan-fried scallops with chilli garlic oil served on a bed of polenta - you like to try new things

Stuff you're used to - your Mum's home-made shepherd's pie

Whatever's to hand - a burger from a fast food place

7

Your best mate moves to the other end of the country, and you promise to write to each other every week. A year later:

You've kept your promise - you love writing and receiving letters and emails

You wrote a couple of times but now you mainly just send the odd email and chat on the phone.

You never wrote a single letter or email - why would you when you can talk on the phone?

8

You've decided to raise some money for charity by having a garage sale. Do you:

Stick up posters everywhere you can think of and email everyone you know

Ask some of your friends to spread the word

Hope that passers by drop in

9

If you were to go into politics, which job would you want?

Prime Minister

Chancellor of the Exchequer

Head of the Food Standards Agency

Spin doctor
