The Trade Game
Posted in Uncategorized
we learnt how to trade people for things we needed.
the game was good because it helped us talk to different people and it was very diffenent to anything we have ever done before.
i enjoyed playing the whole game because we leaned new things that we can not learn in other lesson around the school.
i didn’t dis like any of it.

We learnt about buisness skills and communicating with others.
The good points of the game were that we all was able to take part as a team in trying to make the most money.
i liked the game because it was better than a boring lesson sitting down with pen and paper answering questions.
i didnt like the fact that we didnt start of fair, but i can see why not.

I have learnt that it is not easy to trade and make a big proffet with not verry much money.
I think that the game was good because it was different to most thinngs we do in geographie.
I enjoied the way you can sell things for really expensive prices that the other groups need.
I didn’t like the way you started off with less things and money than the other groups.

I have learnt about different countries have different resources and some poor countries are always going to be poorer than some bigger countries. We also learnt about many enterprising things.
The game was really good as it made you think about the money before you spent it, you had to talk to people you maybe wouldnt normally speak to & use your resorses as well as possible.
I like the acctually game as it was fun but also teaching you a good lesson
I also liked winning! =]
Tbh i liked all of it:D

I learnt what intrest was and how to add it onto the amount before. And how money is handeld, and more about loans.
I liked the game, i’ve not ever proply played a banker like that anyway .. so it gave me new skills and experiences in a way.
I was the banker so i didnt do any of the shapes or anything, but i liked the idea of being able to turn people away if the shapes weren’t the right size or anything..
I didnt like it when everyone started finishing there shapes + everyone came at once. I didnt like adding up really big numbers , it scared me a little bit, but i managed it quite well i think.

We learnt how to trade other people for what you need and that trading can not always work out the way you want it to.
It was a good game but if you are shy then it would not be a very good game, because you had to go up to diffrent people and ask them to trade.
I liked the hole of the game, because it was fun and it did not get boring.

we learnt how to work as a team and communicate well with others.
i enjoyed the game because it was different + we learnt alot from it about countries which came from a poor background + a rich background!
the bit i disliked was only having certain amounts of equiptment amongst the teams.

In the Trade Game I improved in my teamwork skills. Also I learnt to communicate with other team members to complete the task.
I thought that the game was good due to the fact it learned me how to persuade people into trading. I also liked it because it was a change which got me interested in to the lesson.
The only reason i didnt like it was because the different teams had less equipment than others .

I learned what its like if we lived a third-world life. People must buy resources and equipment from scratch.
I thought the game was very fun and gave us a taste of how we could of live.
I enjoyed negotiating with other people and selling items to generate money.
I didn’t dislike anything about this game, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
P.S. We should do more lessons like this

In the trade Game i improved my comunication skills. Also I learnt how to trade people for things we needed.
The game was good cause i learnt how to Trade with people and learned how to cut shapes out proper
Also enjoyed it cause it was diffrenet to any of the other games in the whole school.
The only bit that i didnt like how you made it unfair that diffrent teams had diffrent equitment.

what I have learnt-
I learnt that some countries are poor, and cannot become a richer county as they may have a loan to pay. I also learnt about teamwork -Working together to cut the shapes in our own group and also working together to negociate about trading.
what I thought about the game-
I thought the game was good because it was different to normal lessons and fun to communicate with other people to trade equipment needed.
what I enjoyed-
I enjoyed cutting the shapes when there was like 2 minuties left at the end of the lesson as I think our group (and probably others) were taking it really seriously and start rushing to get as many shapes cut as possible! It was funny because I got so caught up in the game! I also liked trading things as you can really take adavantage of other groups by asking for a lot of money & also equipment.
what I disliked-
I enjoyed the all of the game! (:

i learnt how to communicate with each outher people both in my team and outher teams and i improved my team work.
i thought the game was good as it was fun and you learnt at the same time it was also fun to see how outher teams worked and learn from them.
i liked the fact that you where in teams so you had to think aboput what the outher peolpe wanted to do as well as what you wanted to do
i only disliked the fact that it was unfair to start with but i see why that was

i was the banker in this game.
& i learnt to communicate and have patience with people.
i liked the game because everyone really enjoyed it & it was something new so it was more exciting
one thing i disliked is people rushing to the desk.
It was hard work being the banker.
