Abstract
This article is not used in the classroom, but I think that it could be. These kids play games and they learn about business tracnsactions and how to be successful in any business. This particular game teaches kids to work together and use the teamwork to be successful. This is an important lesson for children of any age to learn. This game also has the potential to be not helpful at all. The option is for the kids to just go around and not do anything of substance. This game can also offer uses for the digital world and is helpful for elementary and middle school children for many reasons.

I think that this game in particular is great because there is no way that the kids could get bored with it. They can use it in the classroom for educational value and for teamwork and when they get home they can use it as a chill out game. These are the type of games that they need to be making so that students won't get bored with them. I also like the idea of learning to work together for a common goal and to achieve success. This is a great life lesson that every child should get while they are in school. In order for games to be successful and helpful they need to offer many different types of things that the kids can use. This game incorporates teamwork, business, and how to live day to day. These are all things that everyone should learn and they are better to learn when you are younger.
