This resource is a game that gets students to work together and solve the tasks to find the letters for the eight letter password to the safe. However, it is a very secure safe and the password will change every five minutes, so students must work efficiently and together in order to break it. There are six tasks that need to be completed Task 1 - Cost push or demand pull inflation Task 2 - AS macroeconomics definitions Task 3 - Index numbers and other calculations (multiplier and real values) Task 4 - General macroeconomics questions Task 5 - Automatic stabilisers Task 6 - Shifts in SRAS and AD They vary in difficulty and so tasks can be given to differentiate between different abilities. You can also do it as a challenge by spitting the class into two groups and seeing who gets the answer first. Or you could just use the different tasks as worksheets or revision activities. I would get the students to prove how they got the answer, as if they get the first 4 letters they may be able to guess the remainder without working it out for themselves. I have uploaded all tasks in word format and editable pdf formats. It took my quickest group 25 minutes to solve and my slowest group 45 mins.
