Candy Stocks

The room was hot, dark, and their was a chocolate odor in the air. We look around and we start to notice that their is candy everywhere! We started to push pass one another and tried to get as much candy as we could. Most of the candy were different kinds of chocolate, and a few suckers. When everyone had gotten their candy our teacher Mr. Kapptie wrote the names of the candy on a board and then put price's next to them. For each piece of a specific kind of candy we had, we basically got that much money. He was periodically changing the prices making them go up and making them go down similar to how the actually stock market works. We were walking around the room talking with one another and trying to trade a specific piece of candy for another piece that wasn't the same as the one we were trading. It was chaotic, hot, and quite annoying. The point of the game was to show us what it is like in The Pit at the stock exchange.
