"Business Meetings" is a fun game for Intermediate Business
English students. In this game, you have to make decisions
about what to do and what to say in different situations.
The decisions you make will determine which route you take
and your success in the company.
Your Turn: After you finish playing the game, practice what you've
learned by starting a new company with your classmates.
Use the Business English that you learned in the game.
Have meetings to brainstorm some proposals for your
company, and then try to decide which proposal is best.
Do you think you would be a good businessperson?
At this site, you can find out by running your
own business. You are the owner of a lemonade stand. The object
of this fun game is to make as much money as possible
in 30 days. Every day, you'll have to make decisions
that will affect how many cups of lemonade you will
sell.
Keep your eye on the weather. As it changes, you'll
have to adjust the price of your lemonade. Also,
watch what your customers are saying, and make changes
that will keep them happy.
Your Turn: Divide your class into groups and have a Lemonade Stand
competition. Find out which group can make the most
money in 30 days. After you finish the game, have a
group discussion and analyze why your group did well,
or did not do well. What mistakes did your group make?
How could your group have made more money?
This is a great site if you are interested in
Business English.
(Actually, even if you're not interested in
Business English, you can still find some excellent
activities here.)
The activities on this site are easy to use. You
can find them according to theme (Sales, Finance,
Marketing, etc.) or you can choose a type of activity
(vocabulary, grammar, reading, etc.) The Letters to the Editor section answers letters from
students and gives some good advice on several different
topics.
