Make a pushcart

Have students create a pushcart. For the sake of portability, students can use shoe boxes or some similar small box as a basis for the cart. As an alternative, have students make full-sized pushcarts and bring them on different days or break students into groups to build a pushcart.

Set up districts

Have students make a map of your school, town or neighborhood. As an alternative, ask the local Chamber of Commerce or city offices if there are maps available for each student. Then divide the maps into "districts" for the various pushcart vendors. Encourage imagination.
