Conclusion
Play “The Goods ‘n Services Game”
Teacher or nominated student has a collection of completed Venn Diagrams in front of them.
Students choose one of three options: Goods, Services or Both and commit in writing.
The teacher or nominated student then calls out one of the student entries from the collection
of completed Venn Diagrams. For example “Buying a netball”.
All the students who selected “good” remain in the game because buying a netball is a “good”.
Those who selected “both” or “service” are eliminated.
Students then reselect one of three options: Goods, Services or Both and commit in writing.
The teacher or nominated student then calls out one of the student entries from the collection
of completed Venn Diagrams. For example, “Getting broadband internet service at home”.
All the students who selected “Service” remain in the game because broadband internet service
is a “service”. Those who selected “Both” or “Good” are eliminated.
The final student remaining is the Goods ‘n Services Game winner.
