A market day is a really good opportunity to cover a lot of different curriculum points. In an elementary school I worked at, they had one bi-annually and it was a great time. The students were asked to bring in any old toys they no longer wanted to use, as well as any handmade crafts. They could price them for sale and/or barter. The kids learned the principles of value pricing based on demand, as well as the importance of recycling and reusable items.
