Here is a great activity to use when teaching Ltd’s.
Before the students enter the room, I put a £1 monopoly note on each students desk. This immediately makes them curious about what is to follow. I then introduce the basic concept of limited companies and I relate limited companies to a cake, that can be cut up into ‘slices’ or shares. I then bring out a cake and cut it up into a number of different ‘shares’. I keep 3 back for myself and I then invite the students to come up and ‘buy’ a share of my cake or ‘company’ for £1. I then start quizzing them as to who owns the cake, why I kept back 3 slices etc.
I then ask the students, ‘why would I want to sell you a piece of my company’ whilst holding all the £1 notes in the air.
Need I say more.
We then eat the cake…and remember…you have 3 slices!
Enjoy (the cake)

A recent tutor2u survey suggests that many business departments are looking at swtiching from GCSE Business to BTEC First in Business. Anecdotal evidence from AQA examiners in summer 2008 suggests that candidate numbers for GCSE are down too. So what are the arguments for and against offering BTEC First? Have your say in our Latte Magazine special feature..
