Accounting for Kids Day
On Nov. 12, Accounting for Kids Day volunteer teams will visit fourth-, fifth- and sixth-grade classrooms to play an interactive investment game with each class. The game introduces students to the stock market and concepts such as how to budget and invest their money.
“The kids get so excited by the stocks and working with their friends that we all forget that we are learning about saving, managing risk, and careers in business.”
Mark R. Macke, CPA of Dinsmore and Shohl, LLP in Cincinnati
During the game, students buy stocks and watch their investments grow over a 10-year period. Each year, represented by a roll of the dice, results in a gain, loss or no change in their investments.
“Seeing the kids’ excitement and involvement during Accounting for Kids Day is wonderful. However, it is even more rewarding to realize they are taking away such a solid understanding of the stock market and investing. I love listening to the kids’ questions about our lives and hearing about their aspirations.”
Karen L. DeLaubenfels, CPA of Karen L. DeLaubenfels CPA LLC in Columbus
