Use this KS1 Fairtrade Fortnight Needs and Wants Activity to prompt a discussion around the things a child really needs to survive and the things a child wants that are actually luxuries. A set of pictures are provided to aid this discussion, which can be sorted individually, in small groups or as a class. This discussion can then be used to introduce the children to one of the aims of Fairtrade, which is to ensure that those who work to grow our food are paid a fair price for the work that they do so that they can afford the things they need to survive and live a healthy life.
