Economics Activities that Hook Students From Day One

July 28, 2026

Kick off your introductory economics course with two dynamic activities that spark curiosity and build foundational thinking from the very first day. In this workshop, you’ll explore classroom-tested lessons where learners plan a river rafting trip to uncover core principles of economic thinking and create a bookmark to bring the production possibilities frontier to life. Walk away with ready-to-use activities designed to hook students early and establish the habits of mind that will carry them through an entire economics course. Five U.S.-based Econiful members will win a $25 Amazon gift card.
