Public Goods Lesson Activity with Answers

A group activity for AS Economics that gets students to work together to decide whether each of the goods is excludable, rival, non-excludable and non rival. You can then get the students to discuss how we define each of the categories, private good, public good, quasi public good etc. Can also lead to a discussion on how these categorisations may have changed over time.

The resource includes the teacher answers and a paper copy that students can cut and stick with. My students all have laptops so I just gave them the powerpoint without the answers and got them to drag and drop the answers.
