</div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">At the conference last summer one event that a few schools had done was a "Game of Life" where there are multiple tables set out, each one representing a different need/want (housing, food, transportation, insurance,
etc.). Students have a certain amount of money and go from table to table getting everything they want while staying within their budget. I'd like to do a similar event here in January as part of our MLK week events, the theme being "economic justice."<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<p class="MsoNormal">As I'm starting from scratch, I was hoping those of you who have done this kind of program could tell me how you ran it. A few questions I have are:<br>
<o:p></o:p></p>
<div style="margin-left:30.0pt">
<p class="MsoNormal">What needs/wants were represented? <br>
What forms did you use for the tables? for the students? <br>
How did you come up with pricing?<o:p></o:p></p>
