Master of the Mall - NSW Office of Fair Trading
Master of the Mall is an interactive computer-based game.
It teaches students about their rights as consumers and as
potential employees in the workforce. It is set inside a virtual
shopping centre and students interact with other characters in
various stores. The game can be played at a number of levels as
students' knowledge increases. To win, students need to complete a
number of missions which test their knowledge of their rights as a
shopper and as an employee.
The game can be accessed from the internet or played from the
CD-ROM enclosed in the teacher manual. It is filled with quizzes
and a range of other activities. The teacher's manual contains
activities, a video and worksheets. This game and other resources
could be used for lessons, units or in course development.
The New South Wales Office of Fair Trading contains a youth
section which has a range of resources and information for teachers
and students.
