Method and arrangement for teaching and practicing accounting
transactions. The method is performed as an adjunct to playing a game
that is based, at least in part, on financial transactions. Students
engage in the play of a game in which simulated financial transactions
are performed and recorded into a balance-requiring worksheet as a
dual-entry. The balance-requiring worksheet includes asset and expense
accounts balancing against liabilities, equity, and revenue accounts. In
one embodiment of the invention, the game played is the MONOPOLY game. A
human moderator or teacher is normally utilized to check the accuracy of
the accounts into which the players record each of the two component
entries of the dual-entry.
