A family stands between two boxes, need and want. Food, water, a home and clothes go into the need box one at a time, then a toy, a game and a meal out go into the want box. It shows that food is a need but a meal out is a want, because we can eat at home, and ends on the recap that needs are what we must have and wants are nice to have.
