A cool idea

I recently remembered something that we did in Incarnation, for raising money. I remembered it when I thought about the fruit bursts wrapper game where you have to make a string of wrappers, longest string wins. Well, in America, we had a coin donating game, where we saved up pennies [obviously we can't do pennies here] for about a term, and at the end of the term, we would line up all the pennies donated from each class across the mess hall/lunchroom, with each penny touching the next one. The class with the longest string of pennies would win a prize or something I can't remember. What I do remember is that we had a box, and each student would take a few pennies and put them next to each other, then keep getting more until all the pennies were gone. It was very noisy but it was also quite fun. I think since our class was relatively big, we came 3rd or 4th or something but I can't remember. And the principal made a speech and announced the winner/s and yeah. Lots of fun, we must have raised about....................... 3 or 4 hundred dollars in the end. So yeah.
