“Good morning, everyone! Today, we’re going to dive into an exciting topic: selling toasted sandwiches at our school canteen. Financial literacy is crucial in our everyday lives. Knowing how to manage money, understand prices, and make profits can help us not just now but also in the future. Are you all ready to explore this together?”
“Now, I want each of you to take one of these printable cards. You’ll fill them in as we go along today. This will help guide your understanding of what we learn. Make sure to keep them handy, as we’ll refer to them often during our discussions!”
“Let’s break into two groups now! Each group will look up the costs of the ingredients for our toasted sandwiches. You will then decide on a selling price that includes how much profit you want to make. Remember to use your calculators to ensure your calculations are accurate. You have 15 minutes, so let’s get started!”
“Alright, everyone! Let’s take a quick break to energize ourselves. We’re going to play a passing game with this ball. The goal is to pass the ball to one another while calling out a financial term we’ve learned so far. If you don’t know one, just give it a try! Ready? Let’s go!”
“Now, it’s time for each group to share what you worked on. I want you to tell us your proposed price for the sandwiches and how you reached that cost. Also, share any marketing ideas you came up with to entice other students to buy your sandwiches. Remember, I’m here to facilitate and help, so feel free to ask each other questions or provide feedback as we go along. Let’s start with Group One!”
“Thank you all for your presentations! Now, I’ll be collecting these cards to take a quick look. I’ll be randomly checking them to see how well you understood today’s lesson. I’ll provide feedback where necessary, so don’t worry! Just hand them up as I walk around.”
