He then played music and we had to run around the circles. When the music stopped we had to find our number and stand inside the circle. As the game continued, they made the circles smaller and the 1000 group stayed the same and got chairs to sit on. After we finished he asked a few questions: How do you feel? What did you learn? How did this game relate to your society or your countries?

Discussion: Some people feel angry, tired and hot. What did they learn?: The game is the same as living conditions for many people. The people with the money control the living conditions of the poor, although they are more in number. They have money and power and can make policy to be useful for them but they dont.
