1. Gather 10 small items (toys, coins, or stones) to represent 'investments'. 2. Assign each item a starting value (e.g., ₹10 each). 3. Create a market board with 'gain' and 'loss' sections. 4. Roll a dice to decide the market trend: 1-3 = loss, 4-6 = gain. 5. Adjust the values of your items based on the rolled outcome. Write down the new values. 6. Discuss with family how different outcomes affect your investments.
