Description


Teach entrepreneurial skills, even if you've never started a business.

Pivot Pitch is a ready-to-play card game that turns your classroom into a fun & playful pitch competition. Students create and pitch imaginary products, think on their feet, and build the communication and entrepreneurial skills they'll use for life, all while laughing and having fun.



No business background needed. No awkward role-plays. Just open the box and start playing.



Think "Shark Tank" meets "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" - but for your classroom.



How It Works

  1. Students draw an adjective card and a noun card to create the name of an imaginary product, like "Stylish Airline" or "Mysterious Backpack."
  2. Students get 60 seconds to prepare, then pitch their idea to the class.
  3. After the pitch, a blue Pivot Card throws a curveball question like, "Why do beekeepers love this product?", and they have to think fast.

Three steps, zero prep, and every student in the room is engaged.

What's in the Box

  • 30 Adjective Cards + 30 Noun Cards + 54 Pivot Questions = 48,600 unique combinations
  • 3 step-by-step instruction cards so any educator can facilitate immediately
  • Premium, durable cards built to survive years of classroom use
  • Portable enough to carry in your pocket

Why Educators Love It

  • No prep required: Open the box, read the instruction card, and you're running the activity in under two minutes.
  • Can fill a full class period or last only 10 minutes: Runs 10–60 minutes depending on class size. Works with groups of 2 to 100+ students.
  • Students actually ask to play again: This isn't a worksheet, it's a game. Students build skills, laugh, and cheer each other on.
  • Builds real entrepreneurial skills: Every round practices pitching, creative thinking, persuasion, collaboration, adaptability, and public speaking, the exact skills students need to think like entrepreneurs.
  • Works for any grade level: Used successfully with elementary, middle, and high school students. The prompts are simple enough for younger students and open-ended enough to challenge older ones.

What You Get

  • One Pivot Pitch card deck shipped directly to you (ships within 48 hours)
  • A free online planning session with Nathan Minns, the creator & 3x entrepreneur, to help you get the most out of the game in your specific classroom

About the Creator

I'm Nathan Minns. I've delivered 250+ training sessions across 12 countries and created Pivot Pitch to solve a problem I kept seeing: students (and adults) freezing up the moment they had to speak or present. This game was built from years of improv comedy-based workshops and polished over two years before it became the tool 10,000+ people have used with a 4.95/5 rating.



Your Students Will Surprise Themselves (and you)

Your quiet student will volunteer to speak in front of the class.

Your nervous student will nail a pitch and say, "I didn't know I could present like that!"

And they'll ask to play again tomorrow.
