"While teaching kids can be challenging at times, it’s certainly rewarding. And
the challenge is a healthy one if you’re willing, let alone know how to
approach the topic at hand.

Former teacher Caoimhe O’Connell has shared a genius activity that she did with
her class—one that involves getting into random groups, getting a random amount
of resources, and making very specific goods using said resources to simulate
how country economies and politics work.

Needless to say, her Twitter thread drew quite a crowd on the internet."

Via Muse, who wrote "Fascinating story about a “game”."

Share and enjoy,
