This is a unique game where students are split into two halves:
Sellers - these students have set amounts of stock that they need to sell for the best price possible.
Buyers - these students have set amounts of items that they need to buy within a budget.
The game runs over three rounds, to give students the opportunity to reflect and change their approach. It teaches them about supply and demand as well as communication and negotiation skills.
It will last a full lesson if the entrepreneurial skills worksheet is used and class discussion is held at the end to reflect on what happened and why. There is then the creating a mobile phone activity to use - so if done properly with class discussion there is enough for two hours.
The buying/selling game is a real gem, students love it and its great for active/creative learning. I used it at a job interview and it went down very well.
This is a fun game to play with KS4 or KS5 students.
It teaches them about fixed and variable costs, sales, revenue profit and loss - as well as competition.
It is currently set up as Christmas Tree Shop as I used it before Christmas, however the scenario could easily be updated.
Student tend to get really competitive over who is winning - and curious about how the sales data is worked out, its basically low price high sales volume, high price low sales volume.
You can give house points or prizes for each round to encourage competition.
Also can link into break even.
Includes instructions on the PowerPoint for students and scoring guidance for teacher, do not explain the scoring system to students as it keeps the mystery - they won't work it out as it depends on what price the rest of the class/groups select.
