Run Your Own Tack Shop

Grown from the £100 Tack Shop Challenge: choose your stock, set your prices, design your sign and survive a quiet month.

Seven activities that turn a single shopping challenge into a real small business. Children choose what kind of shop they are running, buy stock, work out prices and profit, design a sign and a layout, write an advert, handle three awkward customers and then work out how to get through a quiet month. Every activity has a harder strand for anybody who wants the stretch.
