Monopoly with the C.B.S.

On Wednesday 20th, the Transition Year girls joined up with the boys from the C.B.S. for an afternoon of Monopoly. After we divided into teams, we all got stuck in. Who knew a game of Monopoly would bring out our competitive sides! Houses and hotels were built, the bankers sorted the money, but it soon became clear that there were people who knew how to work their way around the monopoly board better than others, and they then became known as the ‘elite’. 

As the elite battled it out in a game of their own, the rest of us tried to figure out a way to keep as much money as possible, yet own as many houses as possible, which proved difficult! The winners received chocolates at the end, and without a doubt it was an enjoyable afternoon for all involved.
