A fun resource, and very adaptable. Perfect for year 6 induction, team building sessions, GCSE Business Induction session or PSHE lesson on Enterprise. So many different uses - and suitable for a range of ages. The session gets students to come up with a new product that turns the humble house brick into something everyone wants! Fully resourced. No need for a computer if you’re teaching in a classroom - just some basic art supplies (pencils/crayons etc.). This resource includes a student example, student hand out, instructions and PowerPoint display. Enjoy.

This lesson includes an editable lesson plan, PowerPoint for display, group work task, extension tasks, G&T task AND lower ability task. The lesson starts by recapping or introducing stakeholder groups. Students have a challenge to name or identify as many groups as possible. Students are then introduced to conflict with a scenario of a new supermarket opening locally. They must work in groups to focus on one stakeholder group each. This is discussed as a class. Conflict is discussed then an activity concludes the lesson on resolving the potential conflicts identified. Enjoy.

An introduction to organisation/organization charts. This resource includes a lesson PowerPoint (full lesson), three differentiated activities with increasing difficulty and a lesson review (exit note). Teachers could either give students the sheet to draw all three charts or give students different examples to complete based on ability, which is why there are different versions. Teachers may also wish to get students to create the charts themselves OR could use the templates provided - or lower ability students could be provided with the templates. All companies are fictional, logos designed by me, Enjoy.

This activity gets students to complete a profit and loss account for the fictional, Flippin’ Pancakes. Students must use all the data on the handout to complete the various activities. This is part of a differentiated task - there are three handouts which you might give to all students to complete in succession, or group students based on ability. If basing on ability, this is the more challenging activity.

This is a four page student booklet that shows an example balance sheet and profit and loss account. Students should complete all speech bubbles noting what each area of the financial documents shows OR how they’re calculated. There’s a final question from GCSE Applied Business Studies, outlining the format a good answer would take. Enjoy!

This starter task introduces whether businesses OWN or OWE something. Essential when calculating working capital. There's a PowerPoint with answers. I've also uploaded a Working Capital booklet in my free resources which would follow this starter nicely and be an almost entire lesson! Enjoy.

This is a four page booklet designed for GCSE Business Studies to introduce Working Capital. Students must first (on page 2) decide whether each item is an asset or liability and whether the assets are fixed or current and the liabilities are long-term or current. On page 3 they review what assets and liabilities are. On page 4 they must write the formula for working capital (Current Assets - Current Liabilities) and then calculate in an exam style question. Enjoy!

Everything is included! There’s a PowerPoint which guides teachers through the lesson, including speaker notes with additional commentary. Activities: Discuss differentiated outcomes / objectives Mind map ways a business can be ethical Discussion on ways a business can be ethical Cut and paste group sort activity ethical or unethical? (hand out/worksheet included) Discussion on ethical or unethical practice (answers included on PowerPoint) Design/display work (A3 handout) - students design a new ethical milkshake brand Differentiation: higher abilities also add how much their brand will do ethically compared to competitors. Should be quite a fun lesson for what is often a tedious topic. Some good display work can be produced too if students are allowed time to colour/design their brand ideas. Would also suit PHSE topics on ethical trading/fair trade etc.

Learners cut out the three titles of ownership types from the right hand side. Around/below these titles they arrange the cut outs that appear on the left of the sheet. Excellent for revision after teaching attributes of sole traders, partnerships and limited companies. Updated with answers!
