What is the Stock Market Game?

The Stock Market Game gives teams the opportunity to invest $100,000 in virtual cash in stocks and bonds. Someone (typically a teacher) will serve as an advisor to the student teams (teams usually consist of 3-5 students). Teams compete based on the game date selected and grade level for prizes based on the value of their portfolio at the end of the game. The goal is that through the Stock Market Game (SMG), students acquire the financial know-how and practical skills to reach their financial goals. There are more details on our game page (follow the link to the WA region).

In addition, teachers have access to a real-world platform for their students to practice and improve on the math and reading they learn in the classroom and one-on-one support from experienced staff, teachers, and financial industry volunteers.
