Description
This interactive PowerPoint activity will review the climate of the 1920's and introduce the basic of trading on the stock market to your 5th graders.
Students will work together in "investment teams" and trade on the stock market with their starting $1,000.
The game winds its way through the 1920s, eventually crashing on Black Tuesday. I highly recommend using this as an activity to introduce the stock market crash. The first time I tried this activity, I had already taught about Black Tuesday. Almost every team cashed out in 1928 and made a ton of money! Lesson learned. :-)
This interactive activity comes with an over 80 page PowerPoint complete with important definitions, real newspaper clippings, and interactive timers to keep your game moving. Also included is a tally sheet, "stocks" with original clipart, and play money with the option of adding your own picture or "Bitmoji", because who doesn't want to see their face on money?!
I simply adore teaching American history. It's when I truly come alive. I want my students to enjoy it as much as I do, so I work hard to make it an immersive experience.
Enjoy!
