The concepts of area and volume may be reinforced for junior high school students using a presented game. Suggestions for group activity are given. (JP)

Stressing the critical importance of the post-debriefing session of classroom gaming and simulation, instruments are offered which provide the mechanism to examine data, insight, perception and knowledge generated. Teacher and participants can examine the conceptual structure, principles, and values associated with the model. (Author/JB)

A presentation of helpful techniques for those who design and develop educational games. (HB)

A thorough examination of computer-based simulation for instruction. (Author)

A short bibliography of books on games and gaming is presented as a summer reading program for elementary school teachers. (EJS)

Two simulation games, which have been shown to be particularly valuable educational resources in the teaching of statistics, are profiled. Such games offer exciting extensions to the resources currently available to the mathematics teacher by enabling the instruction of standard concepts in creative and productive ways. (MP)

A game designed as a take-off on tenpin bowling is described which allows children to review all four operations while playing. Three dice are rolled and a pin is knocked down when numbers can be combined to the value of that pin position. Scoring is similar to standard bowling. (MP)

Several computer games are reviewed with respect to how they might be used within the classroom. The games detailed represent "families" that progress from the introduction of a concept to advanced games that help develop it. (MP)

A game designed to reinforce knowledge of the relationships between certain metric measures is described. (MK)

Discusses general structure and specification guidelines for interactive simulation/games, which include development of a computer simulation model, embedding the model in an interactive simulation, and embedding the simulation in a game. An outline following these guidelines is presented for the development of DENTIST, a dental health care…

Describes 11 language games which can be played in the English as a second language classroom ranging from the basic level to the advanced. Each description consists of the language item to be learned, the materials to be used, and the procedure for the game. (PJM)

Describes various types of play typical of infants and toddlers. Includes discussion of the developmental benefits of object play, social play, motor play, and imitation. Focuses on the concept of causality, toddler-invented games, repeated movement to gain mastery, and the beginnings of dramatic play. (KB)

Discusses the rules for two theater games that train students to focus on objectives: (1) Time Bomb, in which students must maintain eye contact with the instructor, or the instructor will "blow up"; (2) Red Light, Green Light, which may be used with younger students--the object is to tag the person who is "it."
