Are you looking for teaching ideas to help your students understand the Junior Enterprise Programme? Here are five creative activities that you can use to help bring the concept of entrepreneurship to life in your classroom.
1. Entrepreneurial role play – Ask students to come up with ideas on how to start their own business. Then assign roles and have a mock ‘boardroom’ meeting where students can present their ideas and brainstorm solutions.
2. Create a business plan – Have students write a business plan for their own business. This will help them learn about market research, financial planning and more.
3. Classroom competition – Organise a competition between classes to come up with the best business ideas. This will help students to work together and learn the value of collaboration.
4. Start a business – Have the students start a small business in the classroom. This could involve selling handmade crafts, snacks or other items. This will help teach them about the practical aspects of starting and running a business.
5. Research successful entrepreneurs – Ask students to research successful entrepreneurs and learn about their journey and the strategies they used to achieve success.
