18.5 THE TRADER GAME
You will need:
* 4 chips for each boy, all of different colours (red, green, blue,
yellow)
* 1 chip for each adult - white (I made my chips by cutting 1 inch
squares from coloured cardboard)
The boys are given a chip of each colour. the adults each have one
white chip. The boys get 7 to 10 minutes to 'trade' chips with each
other or an adult. To trade, each boy holds a chip HIDDEN in one hand.
When they agree on the trade, the chips are exchanged. ALL TRADES ARE
FINAL! Boys who do not wish to trade should fold their arms to signal
that they don't wish to trade. All trades are 1 chip at a time. Boys
can also trade with adults if they want to. After the trading is over,
show the boys the stock market list below and have them add up their
scores.
Now that they know the value of the chips, let the boys play the game
again. Collect and redistribute the chips, and see how trading tactics
change. After the second trading period is over, add up the scores
again and see how the boys did this time.
