NoW,, in order' to provide further .assiptance to educators and others who wish take students beyond mere "book learning" and help them learn through action strategies, YEFC has published Gaming. While we do not believe that games and simulations should provide the primary basis for learnirtg law- related qoncepts, vile do believe,that they can reinforce -knowledge, encourage careful thought about significant. issues, and greatly contribute to the growth of reasoning skills in all types of students, from kindergartep through twelfth grade. In our Guest Commentary, "SimulationA Classroom Imperative," TOdd Clark, -National Education' Director of the Conititutio9a1Rights Foundattbn\and author ofa number of simulation games, offers his rersonal perspective On the value"and'uses of classr9om simulations. We offer special thanks to Todd for lending hisexpe- rienced and thoughtful observations, suggestions, and ideas-to this pUblicitioh.6 His article proiides an ,apt introdutilthtothe more than 125simulationgames -described inthisbooklet. Also lnclyded in the catalogue, are several board games and card games, role-playing activities, and bookeand pamphlets which can help teachers use simulations more effebtively and design their own activities.. YEFC staff has reviewed all of the' materials described in this booklet. Unfor- tunately, we were unable to play all the games, so descriptions are based on impressions gleaned by educators-on the staff. The descriptions try to benon- evaluative, while providing, readers with enough information to decide whether further examination of the materials is warranted. As pot every item was reviewed by a lawyer, we cannot insure the accuracy of legal information presented by the materials. In selecting materials, we requested review copies from domMercial and non-commercial publishers and distributors. Most were able to supply us with materials. Wetdo not include those games we were unable to Asview." YEFC staff has worked hard in putting together this issue of Working Notes. Susan Davison collected, reviewed,;', and annotated all materials. Ms. Davison, who is also editor of Media, has brought a unique' combination of talents as a 91assrooffi J teacher, law-related education specialist, and tireleis and experiencek bibliog- rapher to the publication of this book. Other YEFC staff coaributed greatly to the preparation of Gaming, Charles White provided helpful and cheerful editing of each annotation, and helped to improve the overall structure and organization of the Cataolgue. Shirley Auer, Jane Koprowski, and Sydney Unnerstall typedand retyped each annotation with( great care 4nd skill, often Making suggestions for improve- ,ments in the "text. Even as this, bookfergoes to press; we are receiving many new materials which Must await publication of a supplement4h addition;we have no doubt missed . t some materials which should have been included. If you are aware of useful law- related games and skaulations not listed in Gaming, please let us know_by com- pleting and sending,us the suggestion form on the list page of ttisbook.
