Welcome to Economics Arkansas’s website for the Arkansas Stock Market Game!

The Stock Market Game™ is a national program of the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA) that allows students and teachers the opportunity to invest a virtual $100,000 in stocks, bonds and mutual funds throughout an engaging 10 week simulation. Economics Arkansas is the facilitator of this program in Arkansas and has been since 1999.
 
The program is available to all grade levels but is more easily utilized in grades 4-12, college classes and a teacher division. Arkansas is divided into six regions (click here to view regional map) and three divisions:  Elementary (4th-6th grades), Junior High (7th-9th grades) and Senior High (10th-12th grades). The top two within each region for each division are honored at the statewide awards luncheon held in January and May. There is also a teacher division. The college and teacher divisions are statewide competitions.
 
For teachers wishing to learn more about this simulation, workshops are available by visiting our Calendar and Registration tab. Trainings may also be scheduled for your district and /or Go-To-Meetings can be offered for teachers unable to attend trainings during the school day. To register for the teacher promotional game or the official game, log on to www.smgww.org. Once registered, teachers have access to the Teacher Resource Center which houses lessons, assessments, projects and publications to use when developing opportunities for your students.
