The Stock Market Game is an educational simulation that allows participants to experience the dynamics of the market in a risk-free environment. The game is used in Mississippi 4th-12th grade classrooms as part of investment education. Through this interactive experience, players learn about investment strategies, risk management, and the factors influencing stock prices. It is not only a tool for teaching financial literacy but also fosters critical thinking and decision-making skills in a dynamic and engaging way.
