Act out a toy bank: deposits go in, withdrawals come out, and the balance changes each time. Contrast a borrower who repays on time with one who never repays, and ask which one a friend would lend to again.
Worked example
Common mistake
Mixing up deposit and withdrawal directions, and adding a withdrawal instead of subtracting it from the balance.
