This activity introduces children to stock simulation, teaching them about buying and selling shares. Understanding market dynamics fosters critical thinking and decision-making skills as they navigate fluctuations in values.
By engaging in a stock market game, children experience embodied cognition — they connect actions (buying/selling) to outcomes (profits/losses). The competitive element enhances motivation and retention of financial concepts through real-time feedback.
1. Create a list of 5 fictional companies with starting share prices. 2. Give each player ₹1000 in play money. 3. Simulate buying shares: write down how many shares you buy from each company. 4.

Discuss the results with your family — who made the best investment?
