Banana Game
You will take on the role of a family of banana farmers - The Ambrose, Garner, Holding, Marshall and Walsh families.
You will manage the company which means more than just producing a delicious crop of bananas. You have to manage the company accounts using a spreadsheet and you have to keep a record of what happens to your family and the company through the year.
Fairtrade
If you are luck you will gain fairtrade status, which means you get protection from changes in world banana prices as well as other benefits. If not, you may find yourself starting to struggle when unfortunate events happen! If you get into too much debt you will be out of the game!
| Fairtrade is a very important organisation which helps a large number of people all over the world and ensures that they get a fair deal. To learn more, visit the website! |

In Class
You will have to create a few things in class, the financial spreadsheet, the diary as well as a presentation which details all your thoughts and feelings about the game.
