Financial Literacy: Money Talks – Your Competition

Ever wonder why your local pizza shop competes with a giant like Domino’s, or how a small online store can go up against Amazon? Get ready for an exciting presentation into the dynamic world of business battles, both in your neighborhood and across the globe.

1. The Local Arena: Small Businesses vs. Big Chains
We’ll start right in your local community. Discover how your favorite local shops compete with big chain stores. What makes customers choose one over the other? Learn about the underdog strategies small businesses use to stand out, like special customer service or unique products.

2. Global Giants: The Worldwide Competition Game
Next, we’ll zoom out to the global stage. See how huge companies like Nike, Samsung, and McDonald’s fight for our attention and money all around the world. It’s like a giant game of chess, with each move affecting millions of people!

3. Why Competition is Cool
Competition might sound like a tough battle, but it’s actually pretty cool. Learn how it leads to better products, lower prices, and more choices for everyone – like having fifty types of sneakers instead of just five!

4. The Tech Twist: How Technology Changes the Game
Technology has changed the competition game big time. We’ll talk about how online stores, social media, and even apps have turned local businesses into global players. It’s like having superpowers that make it possible to reach customers everywhere!

5. You as the Consumer: Your Role and Power
Believe it or not, you, as a consumer, play a huge part in this competition. Your choices about where to spend your money can make or break businesses. Learn about the power of your decisions and how you can support the businesses you love.

6. Fun Activities: Be the Judge!
We’re not just talking; we’re playing too! Participate in fun activities where you’ll be the judge, choosing between different products and businesses. Understand what influences your choices and see competition in action.

By the end, you’ll understand the battles businesses face every day, both in your local streets and across the globe. You’ll never look at shopping the same way again!
