Here is a nice idea, have your young entrepeneurs form their own companies. Each company is given a paper bad to locate and place resources in that they can use to create products their businesses sell on Sale Day. They identify and analyze economics terminology, earn play money, create prints and video ads, plus develop a jingle and display for sale day. Sounds like learning fun to me.
