Learning Objective

Students will invest virtual money in the stock market through an online game platform. Not only will students enjoy watching their investments rise and fall, they will also report their learnings through written papers and graphing templates.

Description

Studying the stock market can be difficult, yet life-changing if studied properly! For years I have wanted to help students grasp a comfortable understanding of the stock market. Through semesters of tweaking and formulating, I have come up with this resource that students and teachers alike can approve of! Students will enter an online game, watch their stock returns, write reflection papers, draft summaries of their investment companies, chart returns, and create a reflection of their entire experience. All necessary directions and writing templates needed are included in this download.

⭐️ If you'd be so kind, I would love for you to rate this product and drop your amazing feedback! Thanks for supporting Mister Harms!

Using the free online-portal www.marketwatch.com, teachers can create a private, classroom game that follows and emulates the real NYSE! Students are given a set amount of dollars ($50,000 real "fake" dollars) to invest into whichever stock companies they are interested in. The private game option allows students to see each other's portfolio investments, and it also keeps track of game rankings to help students see who is winning with the most capital gains! I love joining in and trying to beat my students as well! Since the game tracks the real market, students learn so much more through this simulation, rather than just talking about it in class. Not only will they be learning practical concepts, but they will be engaged the entire time. My students are always so excited, they keep checking their stocks throughout the entire day!
