Engage students in meaningful, real-world learning with this Fair Trade Project Choice Board, designed for Grades 5–6 and focused on ethical consumption, global trade, and social justice.
This resource invites students to explore fair trade principles through a range of creative, inquiry-based project options. Learners choose one task from the board and investigate how everyday products — such as chocolate, coffee, clothing, and food — are produced, traded, and consumed around the world.
Through research, discussion, and creative response, students develop a deeper understanding of how fair trade supports workers, communities, and sustainable practices, while also building critical thinking and communication skills.
