The idea behind this material is a good one--giving the students a chance to apply their accounting knowledge in a fun way. This activity would be good as a review of material. The questions could be changed for different topics: sales on account, adjusting entries, special journals.

After selecting the correct respone for the steal, I was taken back to the beginning slide, with no Xs or Os on the board. I think if this technical glitch was fixed, this would be a good review activity.
