Activity: “Choose Your Investment” Game

Instructions:

• Divide pupils into small groups.
• Give each group a “starting amount” (e.g., 500 Naira) and a few “investment options” (e.g., “Buy comic books to sell,” “Put money in a piggy bank with interest,” “Buy materials to make and sell crafts”).
• Each option should have potential outcomes written on cards (e.g., “Comic books sold successfully – earn 300 Naira” or “Crafts not sold – lose 100 Naira”).
• Let each group choose an investment, then reveal the outcome card to show if they gained or lost money.
• Discuss the different risks and rewards experienced by each group.

Reflection: Have pupils share their investment choices and outcomes, and discuss why some choices had better results than others.

Lesson Review: Emphasize the importance of understanding risks and starting investments early to give them time to grow.
