I currently teach a world geography class to 7th graders.  I could see doing a more in depth unit on world trade and economies for my students.  I tell students to think about jobs and money when they think about the word economy.  A simulation could help students understand better why we say a country is poor and why a country is wealthy.  Students would benefit from a role play simulation about the different countries economies.  Students could then see why some countries are in better situations than others.
