Pictures of our Sales Bazaar

Students recently participated in a financial simulation called Bizworld in which they worked as teams to create friendship bracelet companies that would compete in a sales bazaar. They incorporated with the state, raised capital through a venture capitalist (our principal Mrs. Rose) and marketed and manufactured various products including bracelets, necklaces, and keychains.

Here are some pictures of the "sales bazaar," where kindergarten and 1st grade students were invited to spend "Bizbucks" on products from the company they chose.





 
Each company sold their bracelets to kindergarten and 1st graders, who were give $7 Bizbucks to spend at the bazaar.

                     This picture shows the VP of manufacturing from the company "Buddies Bling" and the VC, Mrs. Rose, wearing a prototype of their companies' special edition bracelet called Springtime Sensation, which was a best-seller at the bazaar!
 
 
After each group calculated their profit using the profit equation Revenue-Expenses = Profit (or loss), we worked through a financial statement to calculate each companies worth.

  2. I think everybody did a good job and I thought that it was cool that each company had its own design that made them a lot of money. Some of the things I learned: the real world is very hard and has a lot of competition and that it has to have team work in order to get through it. MDM
