This is an enterprise game designed for the end of term. During the game children (elves) work as teams to make presents out of cube nets. They then need to decorate them and sell them for profit.
Each team starts with 15 counters and has to purchase items to help them make the presents. As the game goes on they increase their production line sizes and increase the quality of the product.
This was designed and made using AI technology so Mr Clause and Mrs Clause will introduce the lesson for you.
