*NOW UPDATED WITH NEWS*
This is a stock market trading game I have made to simulate trading on the stock market.
There are 10 companies listed which the pupils can buy shares in.
Each pupil starts with £400 and each stock is work £100 to start with. The prices rise and fall over a 6 day period. At the end of each day the pupils must decide what to buy and sell and calculate, using their trading sheets, how much money they have made and have to make high level decisions about how to invest their money.
I have a 6 o'clock news each day with headlines which may affect the stocks the next day. You can ad lib here, there are several construction based companies so a fire or building collapse etc could change the price of shares in a company for example. You can have fun with this bit. Include some red herrings!
I have just made this so I'm sure there will be loads of teething problems.
I have also included the raw data I used. Each share has a different risk factor assigned to it so if you can make sense of my spreadsheet you can have some fun with it.
Hopefully it will serve as a fun and challenging activity to have a go at trading and seeing the risks and rewards involved with the stock market!
I am a maths teacher so apologies if this is all total nonsense economically. I have over simplified it and really it's just to get pupils handling accounts.
Cheers then.
