Economic Inspired Creativity

Let's play pretend! Fort Wayne and the rest of the country have been thrown into a depression wqual to that of the 1930s. It's Friday night and you and your friends are hanging out. What are you going to do? Take into account these horrible facts. You have no car, no TV, no telephone. Your stereo and CDs have been sold at the pawnshop to help feed the family. I will let you have a small radio (speaker only kicks about 10 watts, sorry). No, you do not have enough money to go see a movie. No, you do not have a TV, DVD player, or money with which to rent a movie. It's the summer and there are not Northrop High School sporting events to go to, and you do not have enough money to go see a TinCaps game. Lastly, it's not the week of the Three Rivers Festival. If it costs money, you can't do it. Please keep these suitable for classroom discussion!
