Get Wise! With ASB...

"Spend some money on you but save some too" was the message from an ASB Get Wise representative that visited us today. 

We learnt about currency, spending and saving, and Eftpos cards.  Some of us became Eftpos machines and shops, while Teigan played a bank!

Check out some photos of our learning:

Hmmm - an Eftpos card perhaps?


Learning about currency - who can remember what the currencies of South Africa and Japan are?


"I am a caveman who wants to trade with you because I don't have money yet!"


Teigan "the bank" and Jordan "the CD shop"

The bank "communicates" with the shop to let them know if the customer has enough money to pay for their purchase.


The ATM machine hasn't got any money left!  You'll have to go and earn some more!

Some of our wonderings:

How do you know how much money you have to spend before you buy something?
How do you use money wisely?
Can you get money out at the bank instead of a machine?
How does the bank know how much money everyone has?
Do you have to pay a fee for the cards from the bank?
How can you tell the difference between an Eftpos card and a credit card?
How many credit cards are you allowed?

  1. Corey and Tyler came home BUZZING about the ASB guy! They learnt heaps. Great idea to get him to come and talk to the kids. Never too early to learn about saving
