Candy Corn, Pumpkins, & Broomsticks: The EEK-onomics of Halloween
Grades K-5
Tuesday, October 7, 2025
7pm-8pmEST

Join the Georgia Council on Economic Education and Economics Arkansas for a festive fall webinar designed just for elementary educators! With candy corn, pumpkins, and broomsticks setting the stage, you’ll explore playful yet practical ways to bring economics to life this season.

Discover how producers use natural, human, and capital resources to create holiday treats and decorations and how opportunity cost shows up in every trick-or-treat basket. Along the way, you’ll gather classroom-ready lessons that weave economics into math, literacy, and social studies—all while capturing the excitement of autumn.

✨ Please note: This webinar is not part of the Ag-Tober Fest series—it’s a stand-alone seasonal session.

Bring your sweet tooth for learning and leave with ideas that will make economics both magical and meaningful for your students this fall.

Georgia educators will receive a copy of a featured book from this webinar.
