Play nowA business game for kids
Own a Business is a free business game for kids who dream of being their own boss. Players pick a product, set a price, decide how much to make and open for the day. Afterward, a summary shows sales, costs and profit, so kids can see exactly why a day went well or badly.
What kids learn
- Revenue is money from sales
- Costs include ingredients and fixed costs like a stand
- Profit equals revenue minus costs
- Higher prices usually mean fewer buyers
- Making too much inventory can waste money
Customers in the game buy less when prices rise and more on hot, sunny days. These are simplified rules. Still, they show the same trade-offs real business owners face every day.
