Je hebt allerlei dingen gezien die je heel graag wilt hebben voor school – maar alles bij elkaar is het nogal duur. Je gaat daarom proberen je vader of moeder (gespeeld door je klasgenoot) te overtuigen het voor je te kopen.

Gebruik alle onderhandelingstrucs die je kunt bedenken om de ander te overtuigen. Praat ongeveer 2 minuten.
