This activity introduces the basics of stock trading through a fun simulation game. Children learn how stock prices fluctuate based on demand and how investing can lead to gains or losses over time, fostering critical financial decision-making skills.
Engaging in simulations provides a safe space for children to experiment with risk and decision-making. By tracking changes and outcomes, they develop a deeper understanding of market dynamics through embodied cognition, connecting abstract concepts to real-life applications.
1. Create 5 fictional companies and assign each a price between ₹10 to ₹50. 2. Give each player ₹500 in imaginary currency to invest. 3. Over 3 rounds, announce fictional news that affects stock prices (e.g., 'Company A releases a new product, stock rises by ₹10!'). 4. Players decide and announce how much to buy or sell from each company. 5. At the end of the rounds, calculate each player’s total worth based on current stock prices. 6. Discuss what news affected your decisions the most and why!
