Needs & Wants Game
I recently ran across this fantastic lesson plan from PeaceChild International. I loved it. So I created a PowerPoint and these cute cards to go along with the lesson. In this lesson, students are divided into 5-6 groups. They are each given a deck of 45 cards that show different items. They are then told they are going on a journey to a new planet, and must choose which items to bring. But there is a limit! What do you truly need and what is ultimately a want?This download comes with:PDF files

This is a game that asks students what items they would need to survive on a new planet. I have included instructions, class discussion questions, and ideas for differentiation. There is a group activity worksheet for students to use during the game.
I have used this activity to teach needs vs wants, and also for novel studies such as Lord of the Flies and Tomorrow When the War Began.
