This game has served as an excellent introduction into the stock market of the 1920s. In addition, it transitions well in the Great Depression. Each class I have done this with has really enjoyed it.
The way the game works:
- Students will be given shares from different companies with differing values. Each new slide is a new year with different share values. Student then tabulate their total worth and trade with other students. A new slide is revealed and the process is repeated. The game culminates with the stock market crash of 1929.
Included:
- Preliminary key terms
- Game description
- Printable student stocks
- Year by year scenarios
- Teacher tips
