Materials

  • Printed sheet
  • 12 play acorns or tokens

How it works

  1. Cut out the price tags and stick them on the items you want to sell
  2. Place the items on a table or box: that's Hani's shop
  3. Give 12 acorns to each shopper
  4. Each shopper chooses what to buy without running out of acorns
  5. At the end, count: do you have acorns left or did you spend them all?
