    Here are some ideas to raise money ( with your dad's permission or course):
    Babysit, walk someone's dog, mow lawns or rake leaves for neighbors, offer to help an elderly neighbor take out trash and tidy up the house(just make sure you don't offend them when you ask-tell them you want to raise money for a game so they don't think you are implying their house is dirty!), give a neighbors dog a bath, have a lemonade stand or soda stand, make cookies and sell them to neighbors, offer to do odd jobs for someone, and so on. Think of what people need help with or don't want to do themselves. But, before you start going around the neighborhood, talk to your dad first. You don't want to be going to a strangers house asking to rake leaves, etc. Only do jobs for people you know very well and always get your dad's permission first. Do you know any kids with this game who might have gotten tired of it? Maybe you could trade them for a game you have. ( Make sure their parents are OK with that first)I guess, if your dad won't let you do any of this stuff, you will just have to wait. Maybe you can get the game for your birthday or a holiday. Hope this helps!

    Excellent ideas above! I do want to emphasize the part about talking to your dad, first. That is important.

    Oreo630, your post is a bit inappropriate. First, the OP posted a month ago already. Second, he asked how to earn some money. He was given some excellent ideas - not all parents will just fork over money for a game. He is old enough to do some kind of work or chores for that.

    That is so correct!

    You could offer to rake leaves, mow grass, pull weeds in a garden, walk a dog, shovel snow, use your imagination.
