Whats in a name? A puntastic way to start the new school year

This is a good activity for the first lesson with a new business group…

Last September, I got my new Year 10’s (as a starter activity) to come up with business names based around puns. Gave them a few examples I did and then got them to come up with their own in small groups. A good way to get kids engaged early on.

Some of the examples I gave were:

Chain reaction - A bike shop
Sole trader - A shoe shop I discovered in Chester
The cod father - Fish and chip shop
Millionhairs - A dog grooming salon

Excellent for allowing children to be creative.
