Lesson Plan

Lemonade Stand Launch

Students will explore essential employability skills—teamwork, communication, and planning—by reading a lemonade stand story and then collaboratively planning and presenting their own mini-venture.

Introducing these skills through a familiar, hands-on context helps 5th graders see how clear roles, effective communication, and thoughtful planning apply both to a fun class project and to real-world jobs.
