Well, the boys are liking monopoly more than they thought after playing it this afternoon!! They like the idea of making their own version and have lots of ideas for changes. I think the best version would be a totally different one that’s started with the monopoly game and evolved through them into something

They mentioned either taking a taxi or bus route for the afternoon and interviewing different passengers from around Nelson and taking photo’s!! Linking the different origins of the people of Nelson i.e. making food, designing clothes, finding music from different countries that represent the people of Nelson etc. This could be done for the showcase day / night? They also want to steal street signs from around town to physically make a Nelson Monopoly wall..!!

We’ve also done local research on businesses, transport, housing, history etc. so they have some thoughts to bring to the first session but we’ll see how it goes!!
