What are wants?
After reviewing yesterday's lesson on needs, use the resources on this page to discuss wants. If you made the T-chart yesterday, this would also be a good time to review the students' responses and see if they can correct any errors/misconceptions.
You may want to pause the video around 0:43 to further discuss why we can't have all of our wants.
Wants are things that we would like to have but we do not have to have them to stay alive.
Soda, Candy, Junk Food - We want these things because they taste good but we don't need them to live. What are some of your favorite foods that are considered wants?
Toys and Games - We want these things because they are fun to play with but we can live without them. What are some of your favorite toys and games?
Pets - We like to have pets around because they provide us with company and they are fun to play with. However, we can live without them. What pets do you like having around?
