Give me 3 - Import and Export

The "Give me 3!" activity is an engaging educational challenge that encourages children to brainstorm and list items related to import and export within a 15-minute timeframe. For this task, participants can earn 2 points for each correct response they provide. Despite the competitive element, the activity is designed to be inclusive and educational, hence, spelling accuracy is not a primary concern, allowing children to focus on the substance of their answers without the pressure of orthographic precision.

One part of the activity prompts children to identify three things that the UK exports. This could include a wide range of goods or services that the UK is known for providing to international markets. Another section asks them to name three countries that are considered developing nations, which may require them to think about global economic statuses and the diverse stages of development across the world. The challenge also includes listing three items that the UK imports, encouraging the children to consider the global trade system and the UK's reliance on certain products from abroad. Additionally, the activity includes a discussion on 'Fairtrade' – a movement aimed at achieving fairer trading conditions for producers in developing countries. Understanding 'Fairtrade' is important as it highlights issues of equity in trade practices and promotes awareness of ethical consumption among the participants.
