Three basic game types are identified and described (formation, chase, and elimination). Examples are given of each of these types, as well as a chase-elimination game and a formation-elimination game. The ultimate game is viewed to be one which would combine all three strategies. (MP)

Educational activities based on easily constructed peg games are detailed, along with advice on how they can be constructed. The activities are designed to guide students to collect and organize data; recognize, extend, and generalize patterns; and develop problem-solving strategies. (MP)

The success pupils experience with the computer allows them to attempt mastery of skills previously rejected, and to attempt understanding of concepts previously thought too difficult. (MP)

A card game designed to help high school students drill basic arithmetic operations in general mathematics classes is presented. Activity sheets suitable for reproduction are included. (MP)

The frequency with which games must be used in order to help students maintain multiplication skills is the subject of this study. (MP)

A game with a flexible format that can be used at any grade level and with almost any content is described. The game can be used to provide diagnostic information to the teacher, practice, review, or reinforcement. (MK)

Describes a chemistry word elimination game that can be used to provide an instructive student activity. (BT)
