GCSE Business Studies - Unit 1 Setting Up a New Business - Keyword Championships - Fun Revision Game

(0)
At the end of each year (and even each term) I like to play a fun revision game with my GCSE Business Studies students. Unit 1 Keyword Championships helps students re-cap on all the keywords from the unit Setting up a Business from GCSE Business Studies. I first explain the rules of the game to my students (see below) and hand out the packs to groups of 4-5 students. I simply print out and cut up all the keywords and definitions to make a large pile. One person from each group grabs a card and reads out the definition to their other group members - the first person who guesses the correct definition wins a point which is recorded on the score card (see PPT). The pile of cards goes round the group and the scores are recorded. The game finishes when all cards have been used. This game takes around 1 hour to complete all cards. This game has proved a huge hit with students of all abilities and really has helped them learn the keywords and basic theory of Business Studies. A perfect game for GCSE Business Studies. This game has been made to fit the AQA syllabus, however it could easily be adapted for other exam boards. Included in this lesson are the following: Keyword Championship Title Screen Rules of the game Score card Unit 1 - Setting Up a Business Keywords (ready to be cut up) There is space for adding your own keywords and definitions to make the game more fun and suited to your students. E.g. I like to add in the odd fact and business quote to help make the game a little more fun. Rules of Keyword Championships: Get into groups of 4-5 people. Shuffle your keyword cards and turn them upside down into a nice pile. One person in your group will then pick up a card and read the description. The first person to correctly identify the keyword gets a point. Keep going around the table until all keywords have been identified and find out who has the most points. The winning person in each group will win a prize.
