Economics Scategories Game

Economics scategories for AS microeconomics. Students are given a trigger word and they have to write down as many words or statements that go with this word as they can think of in three minutes, this can either be done in teams or individually. There is an macro economic example to start off to demonstrate the game to the students.

To win students must come up with as many words as they can think of that are related to the trigger word and that no one else has thought of. You score as you would do in scategories, for example if both students write down PED for example, neither of them can get a point for it. This encourages students to think outside of the box.

After each trigger word there is a slide with suggestions of what students could have put, but there will be far more than just these and ultimately it will be up to the teacher to decide whether a phrase is related or not.
