So let's continue with this money idea. So far we have established that you can tell the difference between a five dollar and a ten dollar bill because you know the values of each one.

What happens when we are not sure of the values?
Take out two more currency bills. This time they are foreign currency; something your audience is unlikely to recognize. Perhaps you choose Saudi Riels or Chinese money.

Hold up the two bills and ask the same question - WHich one whould they choose. Now it seems obvious that people don't have enough information to make a choice.

Debrief this.

Some points I would make:

How can we get the information we need to make a choice?
What makes us make quick decisions when we clearly don't have enough information?
Does everyone in your group hold the same values for each item?


Let's categorize this activity the following way:

Low Effort Prop/money/values and decisions.

Tomorrow we will look at another low-effort prop.
