Question: Do you think young people should receive pocket money?
Task 1: Discuss the questions below
• What is pocket money? Do you receive pocket money or know anyone who does?
• Explain that pocket money is a small amount of money, usually given weekly to children. Some children may have to complete weekly jobs to earn their pocket money; others will just receive it.
• Look at resource 2, which provides more information about pocket money. Focus on the graph. Do you receive more or less weekly pocket money than the average amount for your age?
• Read though some of the reasons for and against pocket money. What do you think? Does it make a difference how pocket money is earned? E.g. if you only receive it if you have earned it doing jobs does that mean it will teach you more about money than if you are just given it?
• Do you think it is important for young people to have money? Other than pocket money, how else do we receive money e.g. birthdays, for doing well in a test, for doing jobs at home, selling old toys or books etc?
• Have you ever received money? What do you do with it? Do you spend it or save it? Do you have a bank account to save your money in?
• In the UK, the youngest age you can get a job parttime is 13. Do you think you will want a job when you are 13? Why/why not?
