You can also ask them to make an advertisement for their products. Most children like to draw so you can challenge them to draw their own advertisement and make it as attractive as possible.

There are some points you need to try in teaching your children business skills. First, you need to encourage them to be creative and not be afraid in speaking up their thoughts. Ask them to use their imagination in a game about the next business your family will have. When they have come up with ideas, never reject their ideas or tell them that their ideas are bad. On the other hand, challenge them to find the people who will buy the products of their business. This will teach them that good business is the one which has clear market.
