The Great Trade off game

Prep has come around again and to celebrate that we have been learning financial literacy in maths this past few weeks today we tried out a game called the Great Trade off game and this game is about trading materials to get what you want the rules are very simple and easy to follow here are the rules.

  1. You need to decide what colours mean what Example: Blue = Free time  Red = Fun Yellow = Money  You make these three things out of the colours you have 
  2. Each player starts with 5 free time beans 3 money beans and 3 fun beans 
  3. you need to roll the dice and see who gets the highest number and then the person with the highest number rolls again and the number they roll will determine what they have to try and get the number of each type of bean.
  4. When collecting beans don't take more than you are suppose to you are just cheating yourself 
This is a really fun game and it is a creative way to learn about money and I think if you get the chance you should try it.
