Activity:

B. Chores Chart

Students can construct a classroom chore chart that allows them to keep track of the individual jobs that

they have to perform. Students can tick off chores that they have completed and in doing so keep track

of the money that they have earned.

C. Class Stores

Students can set up stores/businesses within the classroom and sell goods and services in exchange for

class currency that they can then exchange for other goods and services, or for teacher privileges and

rewards. This activity can stretch over a term or a single afternoon. Students can make products for their

stores to sell, or offer services to other students.

Payslips

Students can be given weekly payslips to keep track of their income.

(Note: a template payslip is included in this pack.)

Each student’s earnings can also be plotted on a graph to demonstrate the cumulative effects of income.

Income Differences

Students can discuss whether different jobs should earn different incomes. Students should consider

whether effort, time and relative difficulty of tasks should be taken into account when determining how

much they are paid.

Skilled Employment

Students can discuss what skills should be taken into account when choosing which job each person

should do.

Goods and Services
