Teaching Economics to Fifth Graders
Article here. In my classes here at Berry and in my IHS lectures, I have used a trading exercise like the first one in the article. I think I might try lessons 3 and 4 in the upcoming semester. With a little thought, it's probably possible to modify lesson 3 (the one about savings) to show the harmful effects of taxation or insecure property rights.
