Hungarian Economics in a box...

Student and Teacher's Guides, plus active learning game supplies

For some year’s Gabriella Megyesi taught with Paul Heyne at the Foundation for Teaching Economics week-long seminars for Hungarian teachers and students.

Gabriella Megyesi prepared teacher and student guides, plus a workbook and supplies for running FTE economic simulations, active learning games helping students experience economic principles firsthand. Tbe economics box (picture below) was marketed to teachers to accompany the Hungarian edition of Paul Heyne’s Economic Way of Thinking.

Years later, Gabriella worked for a year at the Foundation for Economic Education and prepared lesson plans with economics games to accompany a series of introductory economics articles published each month in The Freeman (most authored by economist Dwight Lee). Many of these were included in Economics in a Box, a course for Christian homeschool families prepared by Pam Cooper. Revised versions, now Oikonomia are available at econ4life.com.

Here is a segment of Gabriella Megyesi leading a “Market Simulation Game” for homeschool debate students at the Foundation for Economic Education in Irvington, New York. (Video by former homeschool debater Cody Min on Vimeo.)
