Hundreds of teachers are using Reap with The Farming Game in their classrooms. We all know that “experience is the best teacher.” If you have any ideas that worked, please email us so we can post them for others to learn from “your experience.” I’ll also share some of the resources that I have found useful with teachers and students.

Rules for The Farming Game (one-page summary)
Tips from Teachers
“I let the students play a couple rounds with the money first to learn the game before they play with the worksheets.”
“I encourage students to trade, barter, sell, or make deals with the OTB cards.”
“I have my freshmen students play The Farming Game using the SAE records. The students learn how to play the game and they also get familiar with recordkeeping.”
