Big Decisions and Big Consequences: A Stock Market Simulation

Students recently explored the basics of the stock market through an engaging series of simulations that brought history and economics to life. Students learned how stocks are bought and sold, tracked changes in stock prices, and made decisions as investors during simulated market conditions. The experience culminated in a stock market crash simulation designed to mirror events leading up to the Great Depression. As stock values dropped, students saw firsthand how a market crash could impact savings, jobs, and everyday life for Americans. Through discussion and reflection, students connected economic events to real-world consequences, gaining a deeper understanding of how the stock market influences both the economy and the daily lives of people.
