Hi, This is Lana, we played the money game and I loved it.

Note: A group of University of Colorado Engineering students in a 2012 Spring Semester class taught by Associate Professor Melinda Piket-May worked on projects to design adaptive technologies to aid increased independence for some of the individuals Imagine! serves. This video shows a "Wheel of Fortune" board, which can help teach about cause and effect, math skills, numbers, money, and turn taking. Here's how the game is played: Players push a button and a light starts going around a “Wheel of Fortune,” then push the button again, making the wheel stop on a spot that corresponds with a coin. The players mark that coin on a score card. Everyone gets five turns. At the end of the game, players add up the coins marked and answer questions about what they can buy with that much money, how many quarters are in a dollar, what they would do if they had a million dollars, and other questions designed to get players to learn while having fun. In case you missed it, here’s a video of the CU Students explaining how the technology for the “Wheel of Fortune” works.
I find this interesting because I am going into Therapeutic Recreation and my final is to come up with an activity. Which I came up with an adaptive wheel of fortune and I did not think on how to apply the money aspect into my activity I included other aspects such as colors if my clients I had memory lost or was regaining their memory to their old life.. Thank you fellows.
