  3. painted play-board or on oilcloth. Colors can be also added with ink markers if desired.
  4. Buildings can be made of scrap wood blocks. Some toy city sets made for children are also
  5. useful. Don't worry too much about keeping things in scale. The blocks should be glued down
  6. or they will be continually scattered as people bump into the table. It is also a good idea
  7. to fit the play-board or oilcloth exactly to the table size and tape them down to the table
  8. securely.</p><p>Be sure to make the model big enough--somewhere around 3X5 feet is a convenient size.
  9. Also make the streets wide enough so that toy cars and buses as well as small figures of
  10. 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
  11. important that students learn the locations without this visual aid. You should make sure
  12. you don't change the designations in the course of your presentation, i.e. the post-office
  13. should always be the same building. Make a sketch for your own reference purposes so you
  14. won't forget which is which.</p></div></body></html>
