- painted play-board or on oilcloth. Colors can be also added with ink markers if desired.
- Buildings can be made of scrap wood blocks. Some toy city sets made for children are also
- useful. Don't worry too much about keeping things in scale. The blocks should be glued down
- or they will be continually scattered as people bump into the table. It is also a good idea
- to fit the play-board or oilcloth exactly to the table size and tape them down to the table
- securely.</p><p>Be sure to make the model big enough--somewhere around 3X5 feet is a convenient size.
- Also make the streets wide enough so that toy cars and buses as well as small figures of
- people can be moved along them easily.</p><p>Do <span class="bold"><strong>not</strong></span> label any of the locations on the table. It is
- important that students learn the locations without this visual aid. You should make sure
- you don't change the designations in the course of your presentation, i.e. the post-office
- should always be the same building. Make a sketch for your own reference purposes so you
- won't forget which is which.</p></div></body></html>
