The Mash Test

Mash Test © resourceimage/253_mash_test.jpg

In order to cope with the financial responsibilities of university, young people need to develop awareness of how they manage their money. This unique, fun personality card game can be used with groups of Year 11-13 students or undergraduates. It helps them understand more about their personality type and how they might balance their ‘MASH’, which stands for Money, Academic, Social, Health.

This games helps students learn to achieve a balance by asking questions such as ‘If you go out every night, what does that mean for your budget and your health?’ ‘Will you have time for a part-time job?’ ‘Are you a saver or a spender?’
