This class uses the book “The Accounting Game: Basic Accounting Fresh from the Lemonade Stand” as the primary material to support learning about accounting using the example of running a lemonade stand. Simple explanation and scenarios coupled with worksheets that can be filled out as a part of each lesson makes learning about basic accounting principles easy to master.

Each session concentrates on completing the worksheets that each chapter contains to continually illustrate how accounting transactions always balance, how to look at transactions as a snapshot or a movie, and how financial statements all tie together. Time with the instructor in each session will also include discussion of how the concepts can be applied to current projects or businesses and the software we all use to record transactions.

The last session will include a hands-on workshop to complete all financial statements for the
lemonade stand season
