Monster Musical Chairs
Source: Federal Reserve Bank of St Louis | Type: lesson

Students listen to the book Monster Musical Chairs and identify the scarcity problem the monsters had— not enough chairs for every monster to have one. Students wear a picture of a want they have drawn and play a version of musical chairs in which the chairs are labeled goods. Students learn that a good can satisfy a want. They also learn that due to scarcity not everyone’s wants are satisfied.

By the looks of this lesson, it seems very fun and entertaining for the children. It is a great way to get them to learn and understand the meaning of scarcity in economics.
