At the end of each year (and even each term) I like to play a fun revision game with my GCSE Business Studies students. Unit 2 Keyword Championships helps students re-cap on all the keywords from the unit Growing as a Business from GCSE Business Studies. I first explain the rules of the game to my students (see below) and hand out the packs to groups of 4-5 students. I simply print out and cut up all the keywords and definitions to make a large pile. One person from each group grabs a card and reads out the definition to their other group members - the first person who guesses the correct definition wins a point which is recorded on the score card (see PPT). The pile of cards goes round the group and the scores are recorded. The game finishes when all cards have been used. This game takes around 1 hour to complete all cards. This game has proved a huge hit with students of all abilities and really has helped them learn the keywords and basic theory of Business Studies. A perfect game for GCSE Business Studies. This game has been made to fit the AQA syllabus, however it could easily be adapted for other exam boards. Included in this lesson are following: Keyword Championship Title Screen Rule of the game Score card Unit 2 - Growing as a Business Keywords (ready to be cut up) There is space for adding your own keywords and definitions to make the game more fun and suited to your students.
