It is currently set up as Christmas Tree Shop as I used it before Christmas, however the scenario could easily be updated. Student tend to get really competitive over who is winning - and curious about how the sales data is worked out, its basically low price high sales volume, high price low sales volume. You can give house points or prizes for each round to encourage competition. Also can link into break even. Includes instructions on the PowerPoint for students and scoring guidance for teacher, do not explain the scoring system to students as it keeps the mystery - they won't work it out as it depends on what price the rest of the class/groups select.
