High School Economics Games

Play a fun dice rolling, team building, island exploring, interactive game with students that help them learn about the concepts of scarcity and decision-making!

Students will pick items, decide how to spend their day, and compete to see who can survive the longest and build the most things. But beware, sometimes exploring the island won't get them the results they want.

I hope you enjoy this version of the classic deserted island Economics Scarcity game. I love board games and D&D so I wanted to include some of those concepts and have the choices that students make much more meaningful.

The mechanics of the game are built around a regular six-sided die so that it is easily accessible by everyone.

Includes a welcome page. How to play page. Rules page. Example round page. Trackers for the player and base along with their journal. A google form that walks them through their dice rolls. Island Map. And post activity questions.

Macroeconomics Escape Room!

Have a fun review of content with these "Government Leaked" documents about macroeconomics. Students will use critical thinking and their knowledge of content to solve 6 different puzzles.

No locks? No problem! This escape can use actual locks OR you use the printable locks in the puzzles and add them to boxes or doors OR just have students write down the answer! Flexible for however you want to use it.

Keys included!

Puzzles over CPI, GDP, Business Cycle, Unemployment, Fed Tools.

Timing when I have run it in class is about 40 minutes. This could increase or decrease depending on the amount of clues I give or not. Some groups have finished as fast as 25 min, some as slow as 50.
