Developed in _ collaboration with leaders in the field of education, a wide variety of kits and games are now avail- able to help youngsters "learn while playing." According to Dr. Mary Mof- fit, of the Toy Guidance Coun- cil Educational Advisory Board, these home recreational mate- rials help make learning more pleasurable to the younger stu- dent. Monotonous arithmetic drills, such as the multiplication tables, repetition of words for spelling, and other rote rou- tines are outmoded, and frown- ed upon by educators. Instead they recommend to modern parents that children learn through a variety of games keyed to make math, spelling and other facts through competitive, able play. memorable} pleasur- | | Whether the play. and learn-| ing project is a study of a spec-| include such ingenious devices imen through a group micro-|as a "Fractions are Easy as scope, a game of global flash, Pie' game which helps chil- cards or understanding phone-|dren learn the relationship be- tics by competitive "play", a} tween fractions.

It is important that the pri- mary objective of this "learn and play' be interesting and fun-filled. The educational ace tivity should never be repre- sented to the child as punish- ment or a chore. Significant in the pattern of a 1962 home recreation, is the development of math games with self-checking features, so that they can be played alone, as well as with parents or older youngsters. For example, flash ecard kits now encompass divi- sion and fractions, as well as addition, subtraction, and multi- plication. The frantic search for scratch paper is solved in some of the flash card kits by wipe off plastic sheets.
