Game teaching guide
What children will practise
Practises separating producers from consumers, goods from services, sensible from wasteful spending, and resources that must be used sparingly. Fits indicator ส 3.1 ป.2/1 on goods and services in daily life.
What's in the worksheet
4 rounds, sort 4 items into 2 groups - a farmer growing rice and a baker are producers; someone eating rice and someone buying sweets are consumers - rice and clothes are goods; haircuts and tutoring are services - buying what you need and comparing prices are sensible; buying because a friend has it and buying without checking the price are wasteful - tap water and electricity should be used sparingly; sunlight and air are unlimited
How to use it in class
Use after a pretend market in class, about 6 minutes, in teams. In the producer and consumer round, point out one person can be both: a rice farmer also eats rice. In the spending round, ask whether anyone has bought something because a friend had it. After the resources round, set a class goal for switching off lights and taps. Play it linked to the class and the scores go into the gradebook.
Common sticking points
- Goods and services: tutoring and haircuts are intangible; Grade 2 children may misplace them because you pay as with goods. Ask "Do you take a thing home?" - Resources: air may be put under use-sparingly because children have heard about smog. Accept that air must be kept clean, but here it counts as unlimited. - "Someone buying sweets" may be put under producers because they are the one acting.
