Use of subjunctive

No quiero que ________ el dinero que te he dado.I don't want you accidently losing the money I gave you.

The answer se te pierda.

Just a thought! Perhaps point out the use of the subjunctive in this example.

Hola William,

Thanks for the suggestion. However, the use of subjunctive after "quiero que" is a lesson that belongs to B1. We need to assume that it is something known by the student. 

Or did you mean that we could point out inside the lesson that the accidental "se" also happens with the subjunctive?
