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.

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).
