A bundle of 32 memory challenges covering the AQA Economics specification. Most of them involve 10 key terms being on the board for 30 secs and then students have to remember as many key terms as they can and define them.
A few involve diagram sketching or understanding images relating to behavioural economics, so students get 1 minute and then students have to remember as many key terms/ draw the diagrams as they can.

I would get my students in groups to come up with as many diagrams as possible themselves, and then issue them this afterwards as an aid memoire.
A 25 mark exemplar essay for the AQA Economics syllabus for Year 2, Macroeconomics. Students would not be expected to write this much of course, but I tried to cover a range of ideas, so that they can steal the bits they can relate to the most based on their own understanding, and so they can see lots of different points of analysis in terms of breadth of ideas.
This is a selection of potential 9 mark questions "with the help of a diagram, explain..." on the topic of economic policies. This has been divided into demand side policies of fiscal and monetary, as well as supply side policies.
