Suggestions For Discussion

Life Scenarios has successfully shocked your students with the realities of adult finance. Did they know that a $10 per hour job was actually $8.50 post-taxes? Did they understand the true cost of not having health insurance? The new Teacher's Edition helps you expand these concepts for in-class discussion in addition to their interactive experience. As Life Scenarios introduces students to unfamiliar and often unpleasant financial problems, the Teacher's Edition equips you with sound solutions.

Free (Quality) Resources

We know you have an unfunded mandate to teach financial literacy. We also know how difficult it is to find quality resources for free. We've done some homework and provided you with a list of free, well-organized, and quality financial information on topics like: social security, the federal reserve, insurance and more. We've even thrown in some lighthearted recommendations on tipping and eating out.

Using Banzai in the Real World

Students have always been able to use Banzai with their own finances. In fact, the most impact students will receive is when they learn to make financial trade-offs and save with their own money. Only now have we made that a much simpler process. When your students have completed the Life Scenarios program, you (or they) can reset their accounts. We've added an additional page at the end of Life Scenarios describing how this is done.
