Featured: The Wants & Needs game

To turn kids into experts at discerning needs over wants, we’ve created a fast-paced card game called Wants & Needs. Cards feature common items—textbook, computer, bottled water, underwear, candy, mattress, car, sunglasses, and more. Players compete to convince a judge their choice is best.
Of course, a few consumer profile cards stack the deck. Players then must consider a consumer’s perspective, since one person’s need maybe another’s want. The judge declares the best rationale—the father who wants a car or college student who wants a computer.

The card game can be played with three or more, and is suitable for ages 8 to adult. Click here for more information.

Our goal? “It’s all about choices. This game is a down-to-earth way to understand the fine line between needs and wants. Kids’ answers make it fun, and their rationalizations can be hilarious. Plus, learning is better when it’s fun.
