If simulation games can help adults, imagine what they could do for kids. Online games are the perfect way to introduce budding kidpreneurs to the world of business without the actual risk and hard work associated with running a real-life venture. Regardless of your child’s level of business understanding, these three interactive simulation games will put them on the right track.
Lemonade Stand
An oldie but a goodie, Lemonade Stand requires Online Games kids to make as much money they can in the span of a month. After opening their lemonade stand, kids get to choose what aspects of their business they will spend their money on first. They get to decide how much will be spent on advertising, how many supplies they will purchase, how many glasses of lemonade they will make per day, and how much each one will cost.
But this is not all. Kids also have to factor in external conditions into their Online Games -play, such as the weather, points out Eric Johnson from EducalinkApp. “This shows them that the demand for a product can change depending on an aspect they are unable to control.

It’s up to them to look at what worked and what didn’t on a particular day and tweak the parameters of their business to make profit the following day,” he states.
Zapitalism
The aim of Zapitalism is to develop a small store into a shopping giant. The game pits six business owners (your child can play against the computer) against each other, with the first one to make 5,000,000 zables crowned the winner. There are various types of companies to choose from at the beginning of the game. Each player starts with 50,000 zables, which they can use to purchase stock, market their products and pay their employees.
