Go FISH or Have You Got? Game Part II of III
This is part II of III. The first part said "Part 1 of 2" but the pictures on this set were larger so I had to split it into three parts. Please be sure to download all three parts. 72 cards, 18 animals, 4 cards each animal. Go Fish game, with instructions included. Lots of fun. Great way to finish off a group lesson with elementary school kids.

Classifying Factors of Production
I teach Economics to EFL kids in Korea. This is a worksheet I designed to help them understand the different items that can be classified as land, labor or capital. In particular, that land can actually be the natural resource "water." Hope someone finds it useful. Know it has limited appeal.
