Create and lead your own society

(0)
Activity involving creating a simplified society, choosing what people can have free access to, how to distribute the overall wealth of the society and what skills should be rewarded the most/least. Also children need to think about how they will earn/collect money from people in society to fund the services they want to provide for free, introducing the concept of taxation. This task could be covered over a longer time period which explores which skills are essential to society and how to best reward people within those roles. It links to British values as children can compare their society to Britain and reflect on what they might do differently. The task also encourages discussion between children and acceptance of other people’s ideas which may differ. Children love completing this task, and it helps them have a secure understanding of how society runs. They are also very good at spotting potential problems and coming up with solutions to solve them, working together as a team. British Values
