End or Beginning of the Year Social Studies Activity: Designing a New State
I created a version for younger students (grades 1-3), but it can be used for any grade level. You can find that resource here. The version on this page is more suitable for students in grades 3 and up. This idea came to me after my students finished their end-of-year testing. Since all of our social studies standards were taught before the test, I needed something for my students to do after the test. In "Designing a New State", students get to create a brand new state for the United States.

ECONOMICS & SCARCITY ACTIVITY: Making Paper Chains With Limited Resources
When teaching economics and the idea of scarcity, it can be hard to help students understand the concept while keeping them actively engaged. It is this very reason why I came up with the paper chain activity! I happened to be teaching on scarcity around the Christmas season, and I was trying to figure out a fun plan for the kids. As I was planning, I realized that my very own classroom was experiencing a scarcity in decorations! It was this personal scarcity that gave me the passion to create

Find Economics resources | TPT
If you’re an educator or parent looking for printable or digital resources to help your student learn about economics, TPT has got you covered. We’ve got a comprehensive collection of economics and financial literacy resources available, including activities and lessons on trade, goods and services, and the stock market to name just a few. With plenty of TPT high-quality resources at your fingertips, you’ll be able to teach economics to your students in no time at all.
Economics activities to try
Here are a few examples of the different types of activities and lessons you can find on TPT to help teach students about economics:
Simulation Activities
You can introduce students to the world of investing, budgeting, and other economics-related activities through simulations. For example, have students research companies they want to "invest" in to show them how the stock market works. If you want to extend the lesson, you can have them periodically check in on their portfolios throughout the year to see how their investments are performing. Or, you could use a simulation to teach them about causes that led up to certain major historical events, like the stock market crash of 1929.
Budgeting Exercises
Help students understand the importance of managing their own financial resources by challenging them to create a budget. Give them a few hypothetical scenarios involving income, expenses, and financial goals. For example, you could ask them to plan a fictional character's monthly expenses, or have them create a budget to save for buying a house.
Trade Games
Through trading games, students can learn about importing and exporting, along with the impact of external forces and trade agreements. Ask students to work in teams and have them trade goods, record their imports and exports, and respond to charges (like tariffs and embargoes).
Cost-Benefit Analysis
Give students a real-world decision to make (e.g., building a new road, investing in a new technology, or buying property) and have them perform a cost-benefit analysis. To deepen the learning, you can ask them to justify their decisions with evidence.
