Animal Welfare Professionals

A second activity I have created took months of preparation. It is a great math lesson that can be used at NHS or in schools. It allows youth to see the difference of owning various types of pets (all 12 are types we adopt out at NHS) versus buying a pet from a breeder. They are given a specific amount of play money in the beginning to purchase the pet or adopt the pet of their choosing. They then need to purchase the items needed for that pet. Costs depend on whether they are buying from NHS gift shop after adopting or from a pet supply store after buying from a breeder. It is a great tactile learning experience.
