Colonist Taxes

We did an activity where we had cups of green mints as money.So there was the king and two tax collectors and the king read cards. Lone of them said”if you have a pencil on your desk then you owed two mint coins. Or if you had brown hair then you had to pay two mint coins so that’s what we did and it was fun too.I learned how it felt to pay taxes.Because I thought that we should have all had to pay the same thing and not only those particular people.So it would be fair.So now I know how the colonist felt when they had to pay tax.
