For Bigger or Better

Here is a fun idea for fundraisers. Give each group of kids one dollar. Each group will start at one house and ask if they have something is bigger and better than their dollar. If they have something that is bigger than a dollar, you will trade them for that dollar. The group will then go to a second house, telling them that they are playing "For Bigger or Better" and that they started with a dollar, and got this object. Ask them if they have something that is bigger or better than what they have now. If they do, trade them for the new object. Continue this process until they are content with what they have. At the end, you can sell you object. You will be surprised with what you obtain. I have only played this game a handful of times, but in the past I have received golf clubs, kitchen supplies, gazebo, hot tub and even a functional car! You can then take your object, place it on ebay and see how much dough you make for your youth group.

This is an awesome game. I could use this in Young Life.
