Hyperinflation demonstration - offer Mars for sale at front of the class for one piece of paper. By the time students race to front, it's two. They go collect more money - now it&'s four etc.
Also try offering them choice between two pieces of paper - one clean, new, A4 piece, one crumpled, ripped old fiver. They will pick the second - ask why?
Introduce idea that money is paper, based on trust.
Then students have card sort to piece together key events that happened in Germany in the 1920s. Then make a &';Living Graph' which allows them to analyse happiness levels during the decade.
Something went wrong, please try again later.
Really helpful :)
Thank you - this will be so useful!
This was a really great and simple way to get across one of the many reasons that the Germans voted for Hitler. It was easily adaptable too. Thanks for sharing it
