Trading Game

The Trading Game activity is introduced in Chapter 2 to introduce students to the relationship between Entrepreneurship and the Economy. Students are placed in groups and given a variety of items that are “controlled” by the teacher to start. As the game progresses, the students are given more freedom to trade with other groups, in order to increase their happiness with the items in their possession. As a result of this game, students will learn how different economic systems affect trade, be introduced to competition in the global market, and will assess the trends of happiness for everyone involved for a more free trade system
