First, you will need to register.

1. Go to www.stockmarketgame.org
2. Click registration link on the top right
3. Complete the form as instructed. You will be registering as a single teacher not a classroom of students. Register for the teacher promo game that began 9-8-09. Under payment, choose “other.” There is no cost

5. Your purchase will show up in Pending Transactions after a few minutes showing your trade has been “executed.” The official tally will appear tomorrow. Go to the website again. Enter your codes.

Good Luck!
