“…Recent literature indicates that playing such a game in class is very challenging as if the design of the game is too difficult or time-consuming, and the participants may not be willing to be engaged and learn actively (Lau, 2015).

This paper introduces an apparel distribution game (non-computerised classroom experiment) in the class of fashion supply chain management (FSCM). The apparel distribution game creates a lot of excitement, and helps subjects better understand how the fashion supply chain works. Playing this interactive game provides students an environment of active learning. This paper first introduces how the game was played in the FSCM class and what knowledge students can learn. This game not only provides the important insights of fashion supply chains and helps students understand the complex dynamic systems within the fashion supply chain, but also is fun to play. After playing the apparel distribution game, participants can identify the bullwhip effects and where the bullwhip effects come from. Moreover, participants learn several ways to effectively cope with the bullwhip effects in the fashion supply chains. ARTICLE HISTORY
