The Stock Market Game Worldwide in Iowa is an exciting classroom simulation to teach about the American economic system and the role of stocks and the securities industry.
Students learn the basics of economics while they analyze daily cause and effect relationships.
The game strengthens skills in decision-making, research, computation, and teamwork. The simulation allows students to buy, sell buy on margin or short-sell common stocks. Teacher workshops and curriculum materials are provided to enhance the simulation. At the awards luncheon students were recognized for their investment wisdom that led to gains in portfolio equity, as well as essay contest and logo design contest winners. The Stock Market game has been used by Iowa teachers of business, economics, language arts, math, science, social studies, along with TAG programs and student clubs.
