Global Goal 8: Decent Work & Economic Growth
by Becca Todd, United Kingdom
Description
A fun and competitive game that simulates the workplace and rewards hard work. Each player represents a worker who earns "cones" (currency) for scoring goals.
How to Play:
In a set time the players have to score as many goals as possible.
Every time a player scores, he/she gets paid, gets a cone.
The hardest worker is like the one who earns the most.
The players collect the salary in the goal and return with the ball.
