to wear rubber gloves to handle the jelly beans.)

airplane, car, bus, truck, boat, horse, camel, etc.

can be made with ziplock baggies and beans.
- Distribute
game cards and jelly beans to each group.
Canada - 45 jelly beans; El Salvador - 25
jelly beans; India - 15 jelly beans;
Kenya - 10 jelly beans
*
Note that the quantities of beans represent fairly realistic economics
within the countries, and that Canada supports aid programs in
various countries through agencies such as CIDA, PARTNERS, and
several other Canadian based NGO's.
- One student
"travels" with a partner from their country to visit another country
to trade money for food that their country needs.
- Rotate turns
until every student in the class has visited another country.
- Students
count the jelly beans left for their country after buying the
"food".
- Discuss how
they feel about the fairness and equity of the trading.

jelly beans equally and enjoy!

Sometimes we like to trade something we have lots of with someone who has
something we don't have, like trading cards or a special snack in our lunch.
Can you think of some things that are traded with a brother, sister or friend
this week?
People trade food between countries too! In Canada we grow lots of grains,
like wheat, that can be made into flour for bread. Some other countries
don't have much wheat, but they grow rice and can trade their rice with
us. Sometimes the trade is "food for food". Sometimes the trade is "food
for money", like when we sell our produce.
Play the Trading Game to see what you started with and what you end up having
at the end of the game. See if you think that trading is always fair. Will
you have enough money to buy what you want?
When you are finished, talk about the game with your teacher and classmates.
Get Ready,
Get Set,
Go!
