Using traditional games as aids to learning

From the time I was a child, I have enjoyed playing games. About a year ago, I began thinking about writing a book on uses of games in education.

I have made gradual progress on this project, and I can see now that I will eventually finish a book. Like all of my recent books, it will be made available free on my website.

The project has proven to be quite inteeresting. There are many things that one can learn through learning and playing traditional games board games, card games) on a computer or without the use of a computer. Since problem solving is one of my professional interests, I have spent a lot of time thinking about roles of games in helping studetns get better at problem solving. What I have found is that many of the strategies used in playing games are applicable to problem solving in many different disciplines. Thus, with appropriate help from a teacher on transfer of learning, games can be an excellent vehicle in teaching problem solving.
