None

Description:

Divide your group into teams. Give each team a quarter or a paper clip to barter with and send them into different neighborhoods. The rules? Each group has to knock on doors and explain that they need something bigger and better than whatever they have, trading up as they go. Set a time limit of an hour or so. Best item at the end wins!

“Last year, we got several items to either sell and give the proceeds to World Vision or donate,” says Dustin Perkins from California. “New rollerblades, a fully functioning printer, a boombox, and an electric keyboard. I’ve heard of groups who have gotten cars, washing machines, and other large useful objects!”
