Bringing business to life!
The Enterprise Game, also available as a resource for secondary schools and colleges since 2007, now has a brand new primary version! Tuition Fees Are Not An Issue For Young People As Desire To Attend University Remains High Players of the Game own a factory which makes sells and delivers to customers. They learn about making profit (and loss!), taking risks, balance sheets and how to be enterprising. Furthermore, the Enterprise Game can be customised to feature local businesses and provide players with labour market information to make them more aware of how businesses are run.World's First Muslim Spelling Bee Competition Expands Network To UK Olympian Mark Foster Joins Manchester Children For The UK's First Big Splash Aquasplash Festival!

The secondary Game has already proved to be a great success ~ producing the Game is run as a social enterprise with students and teachers being involved at every stage in the development. Locally customised versions are now in place in Manchester, Merseyside, Wigan, Bolton, Hampshire, Coventry and Jersey with others in the pipeline for the near future. Following on this success and after discussion with primary schools, it was decided that a primary version of the Enterprise Game was needed to meet the ‘Every Child Matters’ agenda in schools that includes “economic well being”. The very first Primary Enterprise Game, launched in November, 2009, was the culmination of collaboration involving Halton Education Business Partnership, the Economic Development team of Halton Borough Council, teachers, pupils and start-up businesses across Runcorn and Widnes. There are 27 local businesses featured on the new Halton Primary Enterprise Game board and all of them have agreed to support primary schools across the borough in a variety of enterprising ways. The businesses have provided their logo to appear on the board and have also completed a questionnaire, the information from which will provide the primary schools with a database for the pupils to use before and after playing the Game. Some of the businesses have taken part in a question and answer session about their business, with pupils posing the questions and even filming the interviews! Other businesses have taken part in a Careers Fair for 8 to 10 year olds at a Widnes primary school. A group of eleven schools have been working on resources to complement the Game and these are available to primary schools with the Game through the Game’s website www.theenterprisegame.com. Just like the secondary Game, the primary version is at its best when it is customised to reflect the local economy. Liverpool and Wigan have already done this.
