50 cents and a dollar
Location: A wider location is preferred

Materials: No materials required

Participants: At least 10, more than this will be better. There must be both male and female participants, however, number of male and female participants shouldn't be fixed.

One of the PICs is required to be the judge and the one to give instructions.

Rule: No groups required. Boys represent one dollar, and girls represent 50 cents.

1. Everyone should be standing together at the beginning and with the judge standing aside.

2. The game starts when the judge announces a figure randomly. It could be 1 dollar and 50 cents, or 3 dollars and 50 cents, any amount will do.

3. Once the amount is announced, all the participants will have to get into groups that achieve the requirement. Don't forget the rule, boys represent one dollar, and girls represent 50 cents. For example, you can have a group of 3 boys and a girl, which satisfy the amount of 3 dollars and 50 cents.

4. Please remember to make your move quick! There's a low possibility that everyone fits in a group that satisfy the requirement. Most of the time there will be some of them who are left out.


This game requires the participants to be quick in gathering and forming a group that satisfy the required amount of money. Sometimes the groups might be having insufficient money, and sometimes the amount of money they have exceeds the required amount of money, thus we must make our decision quick and carry out drastic action.

This game gives a message of thinking before deciding. Life is full of choices and decisions that challenges us, we can't make a move without thinking what we should do and of the consequences it brings. If we make decisions without thinking, we might end up doing things that we might regret. In the same time, we shouldn't have worried too much either. From the game, the groups might be worrying which to take and which not to include in their groups. This might affect the outcome.

Thus, we must be quick, accurate, and precise!
