The YoungBiz Game of Business is a 10 x 1 hour programme that allows Year 5 and 6 pupils to explore the world of business in a fun, practical and cross-curricular way. It promotes children's creative thinking skills and encourages pupils to develop enterprising behaviours through play.

Through interactive activities, pupils explore the origins of trade and business, learn the importance of research and grasp the concept of supply and demand. Pupils also identify enterprising skills within themselves, consider the benefits of competition in the marketplace and explore moral dilemmas that businesses face. These engaging lessons allow students to develop life-long personal, social and enterprising skills and attitudes.

Some examples of the 20 sessions are listed below:

Shipwrecked- Objective: To turn your skills and talents into money making ideas and understand the concept of trade and business. Students are shipwrecked on a desert island. What are they to do? How do they survive? Encourages students to develop trading ideas with the use of character and situation cards. What are they good at? What could they do or use on the island? Role play.

Have You Got What it Takes?- Objective: To understand what an entrepreneur is and that anyone can be one, whilst identifying their own enterprising skills. Class discussion, then in groups students discuss what it takes to be an entrepreneur and break down any misconceptions about colour, dress, age, gender, money. Then students choose five objects to turn into enterprising money making ideas. Can each group create 5 ideas?

A Lot? Or Not?- Objective: To increase understanding of borrowing and paying back. To know the value of money. Pupils decide whether £100 is a lot or not. Then working in groups, pupils explore how they are going to raise the money to buy a £100 pair of trainers. Using scenario cards they work out how long it will take to pay back. Then the class reviews whether £100 is a lot or not!

Currency Converter- Objective: To recognise different countries use different money and that an exchange rate determines how much £1 is worth. Working in groups pupils explore life as an air steward. Travelling the world they determine where each product can be bought for, and what its equivalent value in is in £'s. They record their findings on a map and match currencies to countries.
