Duck Tales and the Costs of Inflation!
21st March 2010
A spring hat tip to Mark Seccombe for suggesting this resource as an alternative way of teaching some of the costs of rising inflation. Mark writes:
I was looking for an interesting way to teach the kids the problems of inflation rather than resorting to the slightly depressing Zimbabwe option which always ends up in a political discussion. I think I may have come up with something - DuckTales to the rescue!
The first episode of the pair is better and if you then run through into the first minute or two of the second one, it makes a nice 10 minutes starter!
Episode 1 Episode 2
If nothing else, it’s a great reminder of my youth!
