A classroom game that demonstrates the circular flow of income. Split your class into households and firms and give them the corresponding worksheet. You need to cut out the slips at the end of the document. There are two rounds to this game. At the start of the first game allocate households factors of production and allocate firms money. The initial allocation of factors of production represents wealth and I divided these unequally between the households but distributed money certificates equally between firms to see who is a better businessman. I did a ratio of two money certificates for every one factor of production so the equilibrium wage should be two (don't let the students know this though). Any unused factors of production represent unemployment and should be taken off households at the end of the game. In the second round change the firms factors of production into goods and services. I did one factor of production equals one goods and services. Ask firms to calculate there profits at the end of the game and find out who were the best business people. Ask the students to draw what they saw in the game. Then ask the students what is missing from the closed economy model.

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.
