Rating: 4 stars
Classroom Use: Not used in classroom

Comment:

Content clearly offers activities that align to core subjects taught to elementary aged children yet introduces students to business ownership. I would suggest learning objectives for each section of activities. I would also suggest that students are challenged to think through their buying decisions as a part of the activities. For example, challenge students to explain why, when, how and where they make their purchases whereby you would tie the responses into the Decision Making / Communications Skills section. …Very good selection of activities for engaging children in career development and entrepreneurship.

Technical Remarks:

Engaging technology such as online games and including documentaries about youth entrepreneurs to deliver several of the activities would be also be recommended.
