Divide the class into two groups. The teacher will call one
member from Group 1 and give a business opportunity (e.g.,
food stall, online selling, laundry service, etc.).
That student must "say something" related to that business
opportunity (e.g., what it offers, who the target customers are,
where to put it, what skills are needed, etc.).
Members of the group will take turns responding one by
one, saying something different and relevant each time.
The turn continues until a member cannot say anything
new within 5 seconds — then the other group takes their turn
with a new business opportunity.
