ES 6th Gr Jinsei Game for the end of the Year

It is for ES 6th graders. Many reviews from 3rd 4th 5th and 6th Gr levels.

The rules are included, it is made to play with one dice.
you need fake money 10 000 yens bills you can buy at DAISO or another hyakkin.
- one dice per group
- fake 10 000 bills, I checked and Daiso no longer have this product... You can use the JPEG, add 14 of these on a A4 and print two pages double-side, the trick to get it right is to have the 1st page aligned of the left and the 2nd page on the right, I printed 280 of them very easily in B&W.
- allowed to color print at your school, for the main A3 or A2 board.
(FILES) - money alt bank PDF file is a file that will make it easier to get the money.

be sure to check everything with the HRT.
I think this activity could also be fine for the first lesson of 1st Graders at JHS, to check if everything is OK, do they have the Elementary School English level...

      This looks interesting! I want to try it in class. How much money do I give the kids in the beginning of the game?

      I've tried it with an older version and a group of 4 students playing that older board needed ~40 bills...
      I have not tried the newer version yet. I printed 250 bills for one class, for the new version it will be good I think.

      I tried the game again today. The current version works well if you allocate around forty bills per group. The time management is perfect if you read the rules within five minutes from the beginning of the class
