The Wants & Needs Game

A vital money skill is understanding the differences between wants and needs. The Wants & Needs Game helps children learn that concept and practice purchase decision-making. The game includes other players justifying their viewpoints.

Easy to play - Ages 8 and up
The game is in card deck format. It includes 108 common items, such as cell phones, coats, makeup, computers, cars, texting, and bread. Players choose the best want or need in their hand and then explain why. The judge (role rotates) then selects the best item. The player who accumulates either five want or five needs cards is declared winner.

Three games in one
In the next game, players are dealt profile cards. Each player assumes the identity of his/her profile card. The game proceeds the same, except the purchasing perspective might change. For example, a car could be a strong need for an adult, but not a teenager.

Consider opportunity costs
The third game introduces opportunity cost. In this variation, the players include the general cost of the item on their card selection. The cost can influence how the judge chooses the winning wants or needs card.

Great for classrooms!
This is a highly interactive small group activity or kitchen table game.
