Cost of Living Independently Quiz

The Cost of Living Quiz is based on the living expenses for a family of four.

The quiz can be played independently or in teams and students have to estimate certain expenses that a family of four have to pay out for each week, month or year…

Examples the cost of

Monthly Mortgage/Rent
Monthly Food Costs
Electricity Costs
Gas Costs
Water Costs
Yearly TV License
Home Insurance
Yearly Car & MOT Costs
Clothing Costs
Yearly Holiday Costs
Yearly Clothing Costs
Weekly Take Away Costs

If they predict the correct amount they score 10 points, if they estimate within the range given they get five points. The player or team wit the most points at the end, is the winner of the quiz.

This is an excellent interactive quiz to play in teams, as it gets students working together and listening to each other. The quiz also raises awareness of the cost of living and why parents have to budget.

I have used this quiz for many years and the students have always enjoyed it.
