The course of the role-playing game

IN.

Guys, we just recently were in a flower shop and bought flower seeds there. Well, does any of you remember the fairy tale “The Little Flower of Seven Flowers”? Yes, there were many miracles there! Would you like to find yourself in a fairy tale again? I thought that you would want to visit a fairy tale again. Today your wish will come true. A kind, wonderful Fairy invites you to her magic store.

The teacher shows a doll dressed in a beautiful blue dress and leads the children to the place where the Fairy's store is located. Through an audio recording, the Fairy addresses the children: “Hello, friends, I am very glad to welcome you to my store. Look carefully, what’s on sale?” (Children walk and carefully examine the product.)

IN.

Guys, since the Fairy’s store is magical, purchases here can only be made for special tickets, which the Fairy has prepared for you. But what a surprise! There were many more of you guys than there were tickets to buy. And therefore, the Fairy is forced to allocate only five tickets to each of you.

Therefore, you should choose those purchases that you really need. You can only make one purchase per ticket. How many purchases can you buy? Yes, that's right, only five. So now, when choosing a purchase, think about what you need to buy and what you will buy another time.

The teacher with the Fairy doll stands at the table where tickets are distributed for purchase. (The store also contains low-quality goods: a handbag with a torn handle, a torn napkin, etc.) The teacher monitors how the children choose their purchases.

During the game, the teacher invites the children to consult each other in choosing a purchase.

After the children have decided on the choice of goods, they evaluate it together with the teacher. The teacher clarifies whether the children are happy with the purchase. Next, everyone thanks the Fairy for the purchases. The teacher invites the children to examine the defective goods. Clarifies why no one bought these goods.

The fairy notes that these goods will be returned to the factories to eliminate the defects.

After the children discovered low-quality products, the Fairy explains to them that she specifically asked for this product to be brought unfinished in order to teach the children to be attentive when purchasing and to be able to evaluate a product based on the quality of its workmanship.

Progress of an economic game for children
V.

Guys, we know a lot about the history of money: how it appeared, what it was used before instead of money, what kind of money exists now in different countries.

The teacher repeats and reinforces with the children already familiar material on the topic: “Money and the history of its origin.”

IN.

What is a store? (Children's answers.) That's right, this is the place where people shop. What can you buy in the store? (Children's answers.) Who knows how to describe in one word everything that is sold in the store? (Product.) This means that a product is everything that is sold in a store.

Guess the riddle:

Guess what it's called

What money is being sold.

It's not a wonderful gift

But simply... (Product.)

Name food products, i.e. goods that can be bought in a store and eaten. (Bread, milk, eggs, candy, etc.)

Now try to name industrial goods (clothing, shoes, hats, etc.). (Children's answers.)

So, what kind of products do we have? (Food and industrial.)

Think, guys, what a buyer needs to have and what he needs to know in order to buy a product. (Have money, know the price.) What is price? (This is how much the product costs.) Is the price of the product always the same? (No.) This means that goods can be cheap and expensive.

Tell me, is it profitable for a buyer to buy a cheap product? Is it profitable for the seller to sell cheap goods?

This means that price affects how much of a product you can buy. (There are many cheap products, few expensive ones.)

Which product would you buy - cheap or expensive? Why?

Guys, on the one hand, it’s right when you save money by buying a cheap product, and you still have money left for another purchase. This is good.

But such a situation may also exist. For example, a store sells shoes.

One pair of shoes is cheap, but the quality is not very good, meaning they are not as comfortable. There is no guarantee that it will last long. In addition, these shoes are only available in large sizes.

The second pair of shoes costs more, but they are very comfortable and practical. This pair of shoes is made by a reputed company and is made from quality materials and its quality is guaranteed.

Which shoes would you buy - the one that is cheaper but of poor quality or the one that is more expensive but of higher quality? (Children's answers.)

It is necessary to draw children's attention to the fact that it is good to buy cheap goods, but it is also important to pay attention to the quality of the products. Sometimes, as you can see, it makes sense to buy an expensive, but higher quality item.

IN.

We have already found out that there are food products, and there are industrial goods. What kind of stores do we have? (Vegetable, bread, sausage, fish - food stores; furniture, shoe, "Clothing", etc. - industrial goods stores.)

What are the people called who work in a store and sell goods? (Sellers.) And those who buy these goods? (Buyers.)

What is the job of a store salesperson? For example, in a grocery store? And in a store that sells ribbons, buttons, fabrics? What about in a shoe store? (Children's answers.) Would you like to become a salesman in a store? (Children's answers.)

The teacher invites the children to play the role-playing game “Shop”. Draws attention to the culture of relationships between seller and buyer.

Didactic material for the course "Economics"

in the course "Economics"

(extracurricular activities)

Primary school teacher

Kustova Tamara Gennadievna

Knowledge of economic laws is necessary for modern man. The sooner the first acquaintance with their content occurs, the sooner the child meets them, the more active the process of his overall development will be. The primary school economics course does not aim to cover all economic categories. Students are given only a number of basic concepts that form the foundation for their future study of economics.

Students should know: economics is an accurate calculation, knowledge of basic economic laws, concepts, categories.

In such lessons, children learn to understand the role and importance of economics in the life of society, each family, and individual; at the level of ideas, get acquainted with the main economic categories. Teaching the ability to reason using economic concepts and making logical conclusions based on acquired knowledge is one of the objectives of these classes. It is important to show the connection between economics and other sciences.

Economics is an elective course. This should be kept in mind when preparing classes, without overloading the already rich program. A large number of problems to be worked on, the use of additional material and game forms of conducting classes are the key to success in studying economics.

The formation of a conscious and strong skill in handling economic concepts and categories is facilitated by their constant use not only in club classes, but also in other lessons. The club's classes are taught according to Tatyana Smirnova's textbook “Belka and Company,” in which the material is presented in the form of fairy tales about forest dwellers. To memorize “dry and boring” terms I use games, riddles, crosswords, which I first compose myself; during the lessons, children also join in this work with pleasure.

Purpose of the game: to introduce children in a playful way to the moral and ethical code of a modern entrepreneur.

Assignment: collect 10 rules of a successful entrepreneur from cut cards (the beginning of the rule is printed in one color, the end in another).

The work can be done in groups, pairs, or individually.

1. Opened his own restaurant

And, of course, he hurried.

He didn’t even listen to his friends,

He even lost his house. (Fuchs)

1. He lives in his hole,

He has a lot of worries.

He sheltered all his friends,

He opened his own hotel. (Badger)

1. The house smells like pies

And hot pancakes.

It's cozy and warm here.

Who is its owner? (Squirrel)

1. He will think seven times

Before you decide

Answering the question:

To be or not to be? (Puffing)

1. He hears everything, knows everything.

He wants to be a mediator. (Magpie)

1. Can help out friends

Remembering only your own benefit.

And I paid for it:

Her trade collapsed. (Rat)

1. He is friendly with everyone,

Ready to help everyone.

But he's afraid of everything

When night comes. (Sniff)

To play you will need:

• large cards for players,
• cards for the presenter with definitions of economic terms,
• chips that cover the cells on large cards.

Rules of the game:

This game is played in the same way as regular lotto. Large cards with economic terms must be divided among the players. The presenter takes out one card from the bag, on which the definition of an economic concept is written, and reads this definition. Players who have a definable concept on the card raise their hand. The one who turns out to be the fastest (the same word is on several cards) receives a chip from the leader, with which he closes the cell. After all the chips are gone, they are counted. The winner is the one who closed the largest number of cells on his card.

Cards with definitions are added to the leader's bag as they are studied in class.
