The Enterprise Trading Game is a free teaching resource that challenges students to engage in a simulation of real-life trading. Students work together in teams, competing to trade oil, demonstrating skills and values that can contribute towards success in business. Resources include, films, news slides, a trade calculator spreadsheet, teacher notes and a trader pack. As the Official Oil and Gas Partner for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, BP has teamed up with London 2012 to create this exciting new resource.
