Fitzy Shop and Bank

We operate a Mini Economy in our class.
This is a method of promoting positive behaviour, in a fun way, through real life interactions. 
Each fortnight everyone in our class gets a job to do, such as Line Leader, Homework Checker, Lunch Box Carrier, etc. After two weeks, if the job is done satisfactorily, we get paid a fair wage. The currency we use in class is called Fitzys.
We can spend the Fitzys in our class Fitzy Shop, or we can save them in the class Fitzy Bank.
Just like in real life, we need to make sure we have enough Fitzys saved to cover the rent and bills that come in (rent for the desks and chairs, bills like electricity and heat).
While trying not to promote a bonus culture, we can get extra Fitzys by putting extra effort into our jobs and other general good behaviour.
It is very exciting seeing our savings grow while also keeping on eye on what is on sale in the Fitzy Shop.

The Fitzy Bank is open...

So is the Fitzy Shop...

The Sales Team giving a hard sell...
