Car / Auto Insurance Game - Personal Finance Lesson Plan
Welcome, teachers! This is by far one of my favorite activities from my entire 20+ year career. It’s a student favorite by the end of the game for sure. It used to be a pretty good activity until I introduced the salvation card a few semesters ago. The salvation card put it over the top. You’ll have cheers; you’ll have groans. Students will feel the exhilaration of avoiding major costs and the defeat of being underinsured. Essentially, students pick a car at the start of class. Then, they decide

Disney Character Target Marketing Lesson Plan
This is one of my favorite marketing projects. It takes 4-5 hours to complete and is ideally used to introduce or review the ideas of market segmentation and target marketing. Essentially, students brainstorm and divide the characters of the Disney universe into market segments (like charming princes, loyal sidekicks…etc). Once they have some well-defined market segments (and “faces” that fit those segments), students (in partners) plan a way to best-reach those segments in order to sell them
