Stock Market Simulator for Children — Play Our Free Game

When grown-ups search for a stock market simulator, they get paper-trading apps with charts, options chains, and tax forms. None of that helps a seven-year-old. NewsFlash is a stock market simulator for children — designed from the ground up for ages 5–12.

Designed for small humans

Instead of tickers like AAPL and MSFT, our six companies have friendly names and personalities: a tech inventor, a fizzy drink maker, a scooter brand, a social app, an arts-and-crafts site, and a movie studio. Each one feels familiar, so kids can guess why news might move the price.

Instead of charts that go to four decimal places, prices are whole dollars. Instead of buying 0.0123 of a share, kids buy whole shares one at a time. Every screen is built around big buttons, bright colors, and obvious next steps.

Real concepts, hidden in fun

Under the cute exterior, NewsFlash teaches the real stuff: buying, selling, diversification, profit, loss, market reactions to news, and the difference between a single-company event and a market-wide event. Every time a kid sells shares, the game shows their average buy price next to the current price — so they can see profit or loss before they confirm.

Safe and ad-free

There are no ads, no in-app purchases, and no tracking. The game collects zero personal information. Parents can hand a tablet to a child without worrying about what they'll click on next.
