Materials Needed

• Play money (use Monopoly money or make your own).
• Coins (for coin flips).

Instructions for Setup

1. Distribute an equal amount of play money to each player. Ensure everyone starts with the same amount.
2. Explain the basic rules of the game to the players.
3. Set a timer for the game. Choose a time limit, such as 10 or 15 minutes.
4. Designate a play area where everyone can easily find opponents and challenge each other.

Instructions for Game Play

1. Players challenge each other to a game. They can choose from:
   • Thumb wrestling.
   • Coin toss.
   • Rock, paper, scissors.
2. Both players agree on how much money to wager. A player cannot wager more money than the other person has.
3. If players cannot agree on a game, they must do a coin toss.
4. Play the chosen game. The winner takes the wagered money from the loser.
5. Repeat this process with new challenges and wagers until the timer runs out.
6. When time is up, the player with the most money wins.

Additional Notes

• Game Variations: You can add more games like dice rolls, trivia questions, or simple card games to make it more interesting.
• Safety Reminder: For games like thumb wrestling, remind players to be gentle to avoid any accidental injuries.
• Fair Play: Emphasize honesty and good sportsmanship during the game.
