A lively speaking and listening activity where students compete in groups to bid for various lifestyle items in a mock auction.

Groups 'spend' their points on any number of the items and pass their score sheet to an opposing team for an analysis of what their winning bids reveal about their personalities. The bids fit into the following categories:

  • charity work
  • career choices
  • personal lifestyle
  • desire to be wealthy
  • desire to live like a celebrity. 

This activity would work equally well in tutor time as an introduction to responsible citizenship and the dilemmas we face as human beings.
