This is my taster lesson for Economics which I used for both Year 10s and Year 11s.
Contrained is a powerpoint introducing Economics & powerpoint containing a Top Trumps activity to be cut up either on card or paper. Instructions included.
The lesson is focused on Macroeconomic Objectives with an activity for students.
The activity is a top trumps game with macroeconomic indicator which are based on May 2024.
It lasted about an hour, if you give the top trumps game about 20 minutes.
Personally, I thought it went really well. The top trumps game got them interested in the discrepancies between different countries.
