Candy Activity
We all met out in the hall and Mr. Kapptie told us to do what we thought was right. Giving us no real instructions we all entered the room at the same time. It was dark with two videos playing, looked like one was the stock market and the other one I wasn't sure. There was all kinds of different candy laying around the room, along with Monopoly money. Not sure on what I was suppose to do I started collecting candy, but then I seen there was 500 dollar Monopoly money laying around. So I quickly started picking up all then 500s and collecting all the candy I could. After piling it up on a table, we were told that we could go around the room to other people and trade or buy candy and candy was like stocks, some candy was worth more than others. At first I had absolutely no idea what was going on. I hardly had any candy but had a lot of money, I could see that some people understood what to do but I just stood there for a few minutes not sure on what to do. I decided I should get some more candy so I went around the room and tried to get at least two candies of each kind. Every two minutes there was a announcement and then the stocks would change, I got a hint from Mr. Kapptie that the tootsie roll pop would take a big leap, so I went around and collected a lot of them, at the time they were pretty cheep. Later I'm I found out that his hint was very right. Some of the candy went down in prices and people were trying to get rid of it. My plan was to get a little bit of each candy and then save my money witch turns out to be a good tactic. It was intense and very interesting, with everything happening at once and not having any real instruction on what to do, it really showed that we knew how or learn while doing and think on our feet. At the end people knew what to look for and trade so people were really knowing how to play the market. At the end I ended up with the most money over all, it might have been cause I got a lot of money to begin with but also I had good candy so it helped. Overall it was a good experience and I really enjoyed it.
