School Project Idea
Tomorrow, my school is having a shortage exercise where they will cut off the water supply and distribute ‘rations.’ I thought it would be clever to sell 5 Biscoff biscuits for $2, treating it like a “black market” scenario.

It might also be a good idea to ensure everyone understands it’s all in good fun and doesn’t create any real issues. Good luck, and enjoy the exercise!
