Instruct students to draw a card (photo) to know their target audience for what they are selling.
Have the student grab one item from the mystery box of random objects (the sillier the objects, the better)
Give the student 60 seconds to make up selling points of their item and relate that to the target demographic
If there is a crowd of students, invite 2 - 3 to 'judge' the pitch and determine if there was a sale, the volunteer determines if the pitch was successful and if there was a sale made
