Market Manoeuvres
Profit from an economics experience!
Students explore key economic concepts, including needs versus wants, opportunity cost, and trade-offs, while also learning how working and trading benefits individuals and society. They play a fun game to clearly illustrate the effect supply and demand have on economic prices.
In a whole-class economy, students form business teams to buy, produce, and sell goods, seeing how supply, demand, and government can all influence economic outcomes. Through interactive games and activities, they develop decision-making, teamwork, and problem-solving skills in a fun, real-world setting.
To continue the learning after our visit, Linked Incursions provides economics lesson plans for your classroom that follow on from our exciting activities.
This dynamic primary school incursion is the best way to make economics engaging, relevant, and exciting, all without the dry textbook approach!
