“Just wanted to say we had HEAPS of FUN playing the Money Game. Because it was my first time, and I wanted to be sure all the kids ‘won’ – I opted for the short version where they received $200 for each asset they owned.
I chose to make the kids ‘work’ for me at the start of EVERY round. ( I used a whistle and would shout out Monday/Tues/Wed…. every 10 seconds or so). I even made them do ‘overtime’ on Saturday one day which led to a very interesting discussion.
I also made the kids who were ‘free’ sit out when the others were still ‘working’ when they were busy doing star jumps etc, to make a bigger impact.
Then, when they were ‘all’ free they could decide if they wanted to work or not … and this time they could CHOOSE their work- which of course led to really good discussions around working by CHOICE at something YOU like doing.
NOW I am just trying to find a way that I can do this FULL TIME so that EVERY kids in my city at least will have experienced the MONEY GAME.” Anita from New Zealand!
