You have $1,000 of pretend money and four real companies. Buy a few shares, press Next day, read the news and watch what happens to the prices. After 20 days, see how your money did.
Real Bybit spot prices: daily closes of the McDonald's, Apple, Tesla and Alphabet xStocks (tokens that track the shares), US trading days from July 8, 2025 to September 25, 2026 (fetched September 28, 2026).
Each company makes something kids know: McDonald's burgers, Apple phones, Tesla cars, and Google search and YouTube. When you buy one share, you own a tiny piece of that company. Every time you press Next day, the prices move to the next real closing price and a news card tells you which company moved the most. Good news often pushes a price up, bad news can push it down, and prices wiggle a little every day. Each buy or sell costs a tiny 0.1% fee.
Play one round together and talk about each news card before pressing Next day. Ask questions such as "Which company moved the most today?" or "What news could make people buy more burgers or phones?" For older students, the stock market game for students adds more stocks, and the stock market simulator works like a real trading screen.
