Penny Wars
The object of the game is for each class to collect as many pennies as possible during the "war" while simultaneously "sabotaging" the other teams. Of course, the ultimate object of the game is to give the students an opportunity to raise money to support a project that helps others.
Each class collects coins in a see-through container. Each container is labeled with the name of their class. The containers will be kept in the lunchroom with student council supervision.
Students bring pennies to school and put their pennies in the container that belongs to their class. Classes will receive one point for every penny in the container. But it gets more complicated. Students may sabotage the other classes by putting "silver" coins (nickels, dimes and quarters) into the containers of the other teams.
Each silver coin subtracts points from that container by the value of the coin. A nickel subtracts 5 points from the total, a dime reduces it by 10, and a quarter by 25. This is where strategy comes into play. This is why the game is so much fun. When the contest is over, on Friday, January 10th, the pennies and silver coins will be counted separately. The total monetary amount of the silver coins will be deducted from the total number of pennies.
There will be a winner for each grade level (Kinder-5th). The class with the most money at the end of the week will receive a donut party!
