Play Dough Economics

Our state test also includes economics for our 5th grade social studies test. I found a wonderful book called play dough economics. I think their website is www.ncee.org Not positive, but it is the national council on economic education. Anyway, the curriculum was great. My kids loved it! I had a 4th/5th split class and my 4th graders had no problems either. The way it works is that you introduce a concept, say goods and services, then you lecture about goods and services for a few minutes and then you give the kids play dough and they have to create a good or service. It really did teach them a lot.
