RE: Sustainability for Kids: consumption

Hello @jasongrant and @geke,
I have used this sustainability game for a wide variety of age ranges. It is also helpful to provide the kids with a tally structure or template for tracking the numbers. As a sub-objective, it's interesting to note those who struggle with the impulse to eat as much popcorn as possible, as well as those who quickly learn that working together benefits all. Finally, I highly recommend a reflection activity for the students to note how their mindset changed (or didn't), and how this applies to the real world.

Today your teacher and I will be the producers and you will be consumers. In this game, our production and your consumption is limited to the amount of resources available.
Will It Last? Game:
You are in groups of 4 or 5. Write your Group letter (A,B,C, D, or E) and your name on your paper.
Let’s do a practice round together.
-We have produced enough popcorn (representing products) for each group to begin with 16 pieces.
-Each group member must take at least one piece during each round.
-At the end of the round the remaining supply will be replenished by half.
-At the end of 4 rounds, groups will compare how much they have left.
-After a discussion about natural resources and consumption, everyone will get to eat the popcorn and will get more to enjoy.
