LEMONADE STAND



Main idea

Lemonade Stand is a fun game that can help students learn supply and demand. The game

simply has you as the "owner" of a lemonade stand. Each day there is a different forecast

your job is to change the price,mixture,and amount of products you need for each day to

make the largest ammount of money possible.


How to play

1 Click on the link at the bottom.

2 When at the site, hit the ok button, then hit the next ok button.

3 You will now have 30 days to make as much money as possible selling your lemonade.

4 The first thing you must do is choose how much of each product you want to use in your lemonade,

and how much to charge.

5 Next you order the prodcuts. (keep in mind the weater)

6 Now its time to sell, after clicking ok for what u want to order, it will show you getting business.

7 When the day is over it will show you some statistics on how well you did.

8 Then its off to the next day.


Educational value

This game is both fun and educational. One thing students will learn is supply and demand, students

will be quick to learn that on good weather days they can sell the lemonade for more than on bad weather

days. Students will also have to use addition, subtraction, multiplication and other math skills to figure

how much products will be needed. Overall I feel this game is very good for students.
