The world’s best end of term activity. Fact.

Once upon a time I worked at an oil company in London where I was given the opportunity to compete in an oil trading simulation with the rest of the new employees. I absolutely loved it as it brilliantly introduced how oil is traded. BP have surpassed themselves by adapting their graduate trading game to be taught in the classroom. There are a number of options available from simple trading to using futures making it usable for all year groups. My Year 10 students really enjoyed it and were able to practice their recently acquired knowledge of supply and demand.
