Game teaching guide
What children will practise
Practise basic economics of production and markets: the four factors of production, what demand and supply mean, what happens to prices when goods are scarce or in surplus, and how competition benefits consumers.
What's in the worksheet
6 multiple-choice questions, 3 options each - The factors of production (land, labour, capital, entrepreneur) - Demand (consumers' wish to buy) and supply (producers' wish to sell) - Scarce goods make prices rise; a glut makes prices fall - Competition helps consumers through more choice and better quality
How to use it in class
Use after teaching producers and consumers; about 6 minutes. - Demand and supply are usually taught above Grade 4; if the class has not met the terms, explain them before playing or treat questions 2 and 3 as enrichment - Before questions 4 and 5, give a familiar case, e.g. durian is dear early in the season and cheap at the end, and let children predict before choosing - Play in teams, each team running a pretend shop; a correct answer lets the team 'sell', which keeps the vocabulary alive - If questions 2 and 3 go badly, write demand = want to buy, supply = want to sell in the corner of the board and replay - Play it linked to the class to record results in the mark book.
Common sticking points
- Questions 2 and 3: demand and supply are the most swapped pair, and each question uses the other as a distractor; a hook is demand = buyer's side, supply = seller's side - Question 1: 'land, labour, customers and competitors' starts like the answer, so children who read only the first half pick it - Question 5: some think more goods means higher prices; picture fruit sellers cutting prices at the end of the market day
