  4. Fair trade game Gist: Pupils in groups and take on different links in the supply chain of chocolate. Each group starts out with different equipment and resources, which favour the big chocolate companies. Through various ‘seasons’, the rules change to replicate market forces. Pros: Active learning Enjoyable despite some initial reluctance Pupils were able to talk about their experiences an begin to relate to real scenario Teacher as facilitator Stimulated debate Probs: Careful organisation of groups needed Setting up of resources etc a bit time consuming.
