School-fair stall plan — Entrepreneurship for kids

A school-fair stall is the perfect first business. Plan it in order: ask your parents and the school for permission, choose one simple product, make a budget, make or buy the stock, set up with a clear price board, serve customers, then count the money and work out the profit. For each kids’ business idea, check one thing first: clean water and hands for lemonade, an adult running the stove for chai, material costs for crafts, the juniors’ parents agreeing for tutoring, healthy plants for a plant sale.

Business tip

Permission first — “get the yes, then plan, budget, make, sell and count”

  1. Order: permission → choose what to sell → budget → make or buy stock → set up → sell → count money and records.
  2. Costs = stall fee + materials. Items to sell to cover them = costs ÷ price of one. Profit = sales − costs.
  3. Check first: lemonade — clean water and hands; chai — an adult at the stove; crafts — material costs; tutoring — the juniors’ parents agree; plants — healthy plants.

Use it for: School fairs, Diwali melas, colony events and charity stalls.

Worked example: Zoya’s fair stall pays a ₹100 stall fee and ₹340 for materials, and sells each potted plant for ₹20. How many must be sold to cover all the costs? → 22

  1. All costs: 100 + 340 = 440.
  2. 440 ÷ 20 = 22.
