Accounting did an activity this week called "What's in the bag". Students were put into groups, an item was drawn out of a bag so students had to come up with a way that item could be applied to accounting. For example, an Aloe Vera plant equaled = A for Assets, L for Liabilities, and OE for Owners' Equity.
