Advertising Techniques
When learning about advertising or persuasive writing, this would be a great activity for some learning centers. You can find lots of commercials on YouTube that use a variety of techniques and are appropriate for school. As the students watch the commercials, they can use their background knowledge to select the techniques used.
You would need to teach what each technique would look like, then model this lesson as a whole group with an example commercial.

Wall-E ticket-out-the-door activities
The Classroom Edition of Wall-E has some great bonus features, but even without this edition you can connect the film to economics, robotics and environmentalism. Stretch this video into a three day mini-unit- great for right before Christmas break or the end of the year. These activities require students to think critically about the world around them and they're really fun! My students love trying to get Robot Clark (me) to make a PB&J. Hehe!

Find Economics resources | TPT
If you’re an educator or parent looking for printable or digital resources to help your student learn about economics, TPT has got you covered. We’ve got a comprehensive collection of economics and financial literacy resources available, including activities and lessons on trade, goods and services, and the stock market to name just a few. With plenty of TPT high-quality resources at your fingertips, you’ll be able to teach economics to your students in no time at all.
Economics activities to try
Here are a few examples of the different types of activities and lessons you can find on TPT to help teach students about economics:
Simulation Activities
You can introduce students to the world of investing, budgeting, and other economics-related activities through simulations. For example, have students research companies they want to "invest" in to show them how the stock market works. If you want to extend the lesson, you can have them periodically check in on their portfolios throughout the year to see how their investments are performing. Or, you could use a simulation to teach them about causes that led up to certain major historical events, like the stock market crash of 1929.
Budgeting Exercises
Help students understand the importance of managing their own financial resources by challenging them to create a budget. Give them a few hypothetical scenarios involving income, expenses, and financial goals. For example, you could ask them to plan a fictional character's monthly expenses, or have them create a budget to save for buying a house.
Trade Games
Through trading games, students can learn about importing and exporting, along with the impact of external forces and trade agreements. Ask students to work in teams and have them trade goods, record their imports and exports, and respond to charges (like tariffs and embargoes).
Cost-Benefit Analysis
Give students a real-world decision to make (e.g., building a new road, investing in a new technology, or buying property) and have them perform a cost-benefit analysis. To deepen the learning, you can ask them to justify their decisions with evidence.
