👋 A note for parents
NewsFlash is 100% free and anonymous. Your child never creates an account, never sees an ad, and never gives us any personal information. Everything in the game — player names, pretend cash, shares — lives only in your browser for that session and disappears when the tab closes. We use cookieless analytics with anonymized IP addresses just to count visits. Read the Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, or the Parent Guide — or email info@kidstockgame.com.

A stock market simulator for children that's actually fun
NewsFlash teaches the basics of investing without the scary jargon. Kids buy and sell shares in six made-up companies, watch live news change prices, and try to grow their NewsFlash Bucks over 10–60 rounds. It's the easiest way to learn investing online, free — and one of the few financial literacy games designed for ages 5–12.
