Investing Simulators & Books

We absolutely loved the Cash Flow games (have them both) but they are insane in how many pieces they have - and they're not cheap. When you put them together, it weighs an absolute ton.

I'm not a huge fan of Kiyosaki - love Dave Ramsey. I know that there are non-religious versions of his stuff available for public schools.

When I was taking Macroeconomics, our teacher made us choose 10 stocks and follow them through the semester. We had a spreadsheet that she'd created and we just put in the data. I think we all started with $10,000 and went from there, and whoever had the most money at the end "won." I think you could probably make something like this, and get together for a weekly meeting and talk about stocks, bonds, mutual funds, etc., and have them start to put their data in once a week, and see how they did. It would probably be very simple but effective.
