Money as a low effort prop

So today's idea is about money. A friend and colleague shared an idea about holding up two bills of money; say, for example, a ten and a five dollar bill, then asking the question, "Which one would you rather have?' Now most people will choose the ten. So let's figure out why. Because we know what the ten can buy, essentially, we know it's value.

Now let's lead this to a key learning point: It is important to understand the essential value of something when we are choosing or making priorities. Sometimes this means we have to work to find out what the true value is, but it helps clarify the situation when faced with a choice.

Now, that is an easy way to use money as a prop, it is an excellent low effort prop.

Tomorrow I will introduce some foreign money to show you a twist on this activity.
