This activity helps children articulate their personal values and understand the importance of ethics in decision-making. By bidding on their chosen values, they discover what truly matters to them and why.
Engaging in bidding activates students' decision-making processes and encourages reflection on their priorities. This mirrors real-life choices, fostering a connection to their values through embodied cognition as they physically engage in the auction.
1. Prepare 10 value cards (e.g., honesty, kindness, freedom, respect). 2. Give each player ₹100 (or play money). 3. Announce starting bids for each value, like ₹10. 4. Players raise their hands to bid on the values they like. 5. Each player can win up to 3 values — count how much money you have left. 6. Discuss: Why did you bid on these values?
