The South Dakota Stock Market Game
By Mrs. Karla Ludemann
The South Dakota Stock Market Game announces Fall 2023 session winning teams. The Fall 2023 session of the Stock Market Game (SMG) concluded its 10-week trading period on December 15, in which 22 schools, colleges, and universities across South Dakota and Wyoming formed 194 teams of stock market investors.
The program provides students with a hypothetical $100,000 to perform real-time online investing in stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. The program’s carefully integrated curriculum lets students experience the financial markets in the classroom as they learn about business, math, economics, personal finance, and the importance of saving and investing for the long term. Students compete for prizes in the Elementary/Junior High, High School, and College divisions.
Teacher Karla Ludemann used the program in her Personal Finance class. In the high school division two Upton High School students earned a cash prize. Ryan Baker finished in fifth place and Rylee Lobee finished in twelfth place.
The SMG program provides teachers with online support during each trading session and free online training prior to and during each session. During the 10-week session, teachers receive weekly newsletters on economic, business, and personal finance topics to integrate the program into a variety of grade levels and subjects. The SMG program has been delivered by Black Hills State University through the Center for Economic Education since 1994. The Black Hills State University Center for Economic Education has an exclusive license to operate the SMG program under the oversight of the Securities Industry Financial Markets Association (SIFMA). The Stock Market Game is widely identified as the leader in youth financial education and the only program proven in rigorous, independent studies year-after-year to raise math and financial literacy test scores and to change financial behavior for the better for students and teachers. Over 600,000 students from all 50 states participate each year.
