Farming Fun!

Hi everyone,

Here is the link to play 3rd World Farmer. A thought provoking game where, as a farmer in an impoverished country, you must do your best to survive in order to create a better opportunity for your family's future.
Unfortunately, an advertisement must finish playing before you can access the game. Wait for the Play Game button to load at the bottom right hand corner then click on it.
I hope you all enjoy it. After playing the game, can anyone think of why it can be difficult for a person to make a living as a farmer in a 3rd world country? Post your comments.


For Parents: Although the 3rd World Farmer simulation takes place in a country other than Canada; the gaming experience still presents cultural and economic challenges for the player related to the Ontario Curriculum. The gaming tasks are very similar and somewhat comparable to farming life in Canada. This is relevant to the Grade 6 overall expectations of identify, analyse, and describe economic and cultural relationships that link communities and regions within Ontario and across Canada.
