Coffee Shop
I couldn't resist playing this fun game and you and your kids might not resist it either.
Basically you first buy some inventory to make coffee, adjust your coffee recipe (more or less milk, more or less sugar, etc.), define a price, and go selling. These funny animated folks pass by your coffee stand and voice their opinions, whether it's needing more milk or is too pricey or good quality for the price, etc.
At the end of each day you'll see a graph of your earnings and of your reputation. Then you go shopping for more inventory and adjusting your recipe and price. The play continues for 14 days. And the weather changes, too.

My daughter wanted to keep the coffee price way too low, like $1.65 or $2.00 and in no time was almost running out of money... : ) My hubby played it for hours.
The game practices decision making and analyzing several variables - critical thinking in other words.

That's what makes this so interesting. If I increase my price, I increase my profit. However, it may also affect sales. Hmmmm...
