Re: Money Camps for Kids
We did something similar a a church youth activity one. There were all kinds of booths. Some where you earned 'tickets' and others that cost tickets. Some places where just like stores and you bought things like food and stuff. They didn't tell us anything about the activity. We just showed up and each were given the same amount of tickets and send into the 'world.' As time passed I noticed people where thinning out, but I wasn't paying attention. I was earning and spending my tickets having a grand ole' time. Then a man dressed in a 'white' suite came and asked me to follow him....
That was how you 'died'. Those little tickets......well how many of them you had and 'special' ones you earned by 'doing service' and 'helping others' those little things meant something when you had to 'stand before your maker'. It was a great youth activity and really made me realize that what you spend your time doing is important.
I don't know if that game would help. There are certainly many ways to 'tweak' it for your purpose. The white people could mean forced retirement and how many tickets they have could mean the level of retirement they get. Work with the idea....I am sure there are many things you could come up with.
