This short video explains wants and needs at the beginning, then tells a story about two boys wanting to buy
bicycles, but they need to save money to do so. One of the boys makes the
choice to stop at the convenience store every day and buy soda and a
candy bar. By the end of the year, he spent all his money at the convenience
store and cannot afford the bicycle. The other boy makes the choice to
save his money and at the end of the year he is able to buy his bicycle and
even has some money left over.

Popcorn Scarcity Activity
What you will need-1 Large brown paper bag filled with popped popcorn-1 Large brown paper bag filled with crumpled newspaper-3 Small brown paper lunch bags PER student-Alternative snacksOpen the large brown paper bag filled with popped popcorn. Allow students to go up one row at a time to collect popcorn. Tell them that they can take as much as they want-even offer them extra lunch bags to carry
it all. Eventually, the popcorn will run out before every student gets some. Explain that if the students who already got popcorn had known that there was crumpled newspaper in the other large brown paper
bag, they probably would have taken much less popcorn so that everyone would have gotten some.

Toys for Me: A Lesson on Choice
Read the story poem Toys for Me, written by C.D. Crain. In the story, Scarcity’s mother is only giving her one present for
her birthday and for Christmas. Scarcity does not believe this is fair. She wants “this AND that”,
not “this OR that”. Scarcity learns to make choices.

Social Studies Alive!My School and Family CD
Every family has needs and wants.Families need basic things.
Food, clothing, shelter, are what they need to live.These are the three basic needs.
If a sandwich is a need, pat your head!If shoes are a need, stomp your feet!
If a house is a need, turn around!
Every family has needs and wants.Families want many things.
They don’t need these things to live,But they make them happy.
If TV is a want, slap your lap!If toys are a want, touch your toes!If cookies are a want, clap up high!
Every family has needs and wants.Families need basic things.
Food, clothing, shelter, are what they need to live.These are the three basic needs. (x2)
