"From the start I have been impressed by the practicality and relevance of using “Wallaby Traders” as an introduction to financial concepts. Their approach includes both cash and other considerations such as end profit, forming an excellent base for future accounting skills. It grabs the attention of learners with its interactive approach, encourages learners to strategise regarding a number of different aspects of running a business.My learners have found it stimulating and fun. They have enjoyed learning new financial and strategic skills, and have benefitted from working in teams to arrive at their decisions.
We have prescribed the game at Grade 9 level, as it fits so well into the requirements of the EMS curriculum, while being an exciting activity to keep learners interested throughout the course. I would recommend it unreservedly to all teachers of EMS and Accounting who would like to stimulate their pupils and create a sound foundation for learner's commercial skills."

"Matching theoretical Business Principles and Accounting concepts with reality is a challenge at school level. Wallaby Traders is just the tool to assist with this task. By Playing this game, theory and reality mix and concepts come to life. I would advise any teacher of Economic and Management Sciences to implement this game at their institution."
