A series of simple accounting activities, questionnaires, glossary of terms to provide up-to a week of activities to prepare pupils for the live activities they might be given by the employer.

1. Quadrant - Practice the basics of debits and credits either on line using our virtual learning environment or manually on a magnetic whiteboard.
– These can be used as a group activity to cover the principals of double entry bookkeeping and debits and credits. They get learners to their feet, playing a traditional game of dominoes but matching account items and debits and credits. There are 4 categories:
- Debits / Credits (30 cards);
- Revenue / expenses / capital / assets / liabilities (30 cards);
- Increases / decreases as debits / credits (30 cards);
- Balance Sheet / Profit & Loss Account (42 cards).
Word templates for each category of the dominoes are available to download on line for free or you can buy the finished article from us in a hard copy laminated form.
Both manual Quadrant and Dominoes are excellent kinaesthetic learning tools – or to put it another way - they’re great at getting students on their feet and mucking in!
This is published regularly and provides a summary of those resources currently available, those being developed and other training developments that we feel will be of interest to schools.
