Background: Each student has different experiences and experiences.

Each student has thoughts and ideas that can be a large contribution to
making a difference. Each student brings their own experiences together
with others to form a collaboration that can change the community locally
and globally.
This lesson promotes SEL’s responsible decision making.

Materials: Manipulative (chips), reward (candy)

Essential Question:
 How can we share community resources so that everyone gets what
they need?
 How can I work together with my community to make educated and
informed decisions?
 How are other peoples needs different from mine?

Lesson: Students will manage shared community resources in this

simulation. Students will get manipulatives of different colors. Each color
will represent a renewable source and are placed in the middle of the
group. Students must figure out how to balance their desire for 10 chips
but also must not take away resources from another group member. The
goal is for students to be able to walk away with 10 chips and everyone
have what they need.
At the end we will discuss the following questions:
What do the chips represent?
How did it make you feel when someone tried to take more than they
needed? Have you experienced a situation like this at home or school?
