This is a fun game to play with KS4 or KS5 students. It teaches them about fixed and variable costs, sales, revenue profit and loss - as well as competition. It is currently set up as Christmas Tree Shop as I used it before Christmas, however the scenario could easily be updated. Student tend to get really competitive over who is winning - and curious about how the sales data is worked out, its basically low price high sales volume, high price low sales volume.
