Candy Stocks

In Free Enterprise, When I first walked into the dark, loud, room I was very excited about all the candy that was on the floor and on the tables when we were told to chose a spot to go to and stay there I took my group ,who was Jon, Jared, a 5th grader, and i, to a corner then mr. Kapptie told us to start grabbing candy and grab as much as you can! I went crazy, my team went crazy and just started grabbing candy and we put it on a table. Then we had to separate all the different pieces of candy we had. We were going to trade them with other groups to gain more money and get rid of the candy that had the lesser value. So we were walking around everywhere trading candy it was so tempting to eat!! The 5th grader little girl was so outgoing and trading candy like crazy!!! She was so into the game as we were! It was awesome!!! Throughout the time being our teacher kept going to two white boards where all the candy names were written and the candy was eithe going up or down in price. Then towards the end he told us to finish our trading because the stock market was closing up. So we finished our trading then started counting up our pieces of candy and how much they were worth each. After we added them all up we had about 5,000 dollars or so. I stayed behind to help reset the game for the next class and it was just a fun, hectic, hot, dark time!(:
