School Project Idea
Tomorrow, our school is hosting a shortage exercise where they’ll be cutting off the water supply and handing out ‘rations.’ I had the idea of selling 5 Biscoff biscuits for around $2, but with a fun twist—I’d be framing it as a “black market” in order to make the experience more realistic. After all, even in real-life shortages, black markets do arise with outrageous pricing!

Are you living next to your school? We just relocated to a new neighborhood, and my four-year-old will attend the school right next door.

That sounds like a really creative and fun idea! It could definitely add an interesting twist to the exercise and get everyone thinking about the impact of shortages and the concept of black markets.

If you can get the green light, it might also spark some interesting discussions about economics and ethics in your class! Just remember to keep it light and fun!
