Try this mini personal finance simulation activity to help deliver the CambridgeOCR Level 3 Award in Personal Finance.

Set Up Your Month is a free interactive simulation about a skill everyone needs: choosing the right way to pay. Students set up Priya's month and pick a payment method for eight everyday things, from rent and bills to a new laptop and a tempting crypto tip, then press play and watch each choice land well or badly. It brings a whole topic to life, standing orders, direct debits, debit versus credit, buy now pay later, and shows that the method is never just a detail. It takes around fifteen minutes, works on any device, and finishes with a handy reference card.
