The Great trade off game

We played a game called the great trade off game. the great trade off game is a game where you can play with two people or more(it is better with more people). here is how you play: you need three piles of counters all different colors. one color will be money, one color will be free time, one color will be fun money. you will need a game sheet to play on. on the sheet there is six numbers, beside the six numbers is your goal.  your goal will say: 10 fun money, 12 free time and 8 money. you need to get that much money of each type. I learnt that if you use your free time to do work, you get a reward! I also learnt that it isn't how much money you have its, how you spend it. So if your not that rich but you spend money really well you will have more money than you think!

The sound of birds echoed around the forest. The tree leaves shone in the bright sun. The colorful pillows liyed on the comfy object. the bronze ladder hanged down in the middle of the forest.

It hanged like a wrecking ball slowly rocking side to side.
