The International Monetary Fund has designed a great game to help students understand the concept of international trade. It’s called Trading Around the World. In their own words, “Play this game to experience the challenges and excitement of international trade. See if you can get the best price for the goods you sell and the biggest bargains for the goods you buy. Watch how the global economy is doing: the prices you’ll be able to get and the deals you can make depend on how healthy the global economy is.” This would be a great opportunity for students to have first hand experience in the world of economics and to use their negotiation skills. Here is a link to the Teacher’s Guide for this game. The first time you play you are given a game number so that when you return to the site you can pick up where you left off. ENJOY!
