MULTINO, educational games by scallawags.com. 

MULTINO is a fun interactive family of games, consisting of sets of colourful tiles, for pupils learning mental arithmetic or how to tell the time. To address different skills, the sets range in complexity and each deals with a specific process. However to make it more challenging in the classroom, games can be played with one or more sets, identical or different, in any combination.

MULTINO was formally presented at the National Education Show for Scotland in early March 2002. It was greatly received by teachers from both main and special need streams. The size and marking of the tiles make the game suitable for partially sighted pupils, while the ability to wash sets keeps them clean and hygienic.

Furthermore, in order to maintain the sets' longevity, each hard-wearing tile is recognisable and can be easily replaced if lost. So with a minimum of maintenance the sets are long lasting. 

Several primary schools in Central Scotland are already using MULTINO with great effect in the classroom. Played as classic domino, children immediately rise to the challenge of matching results. The game requires little or no intervention from staff, leaving the teacher time to deal with other pupils in need of more specific attention. While playing, each participant has to work out the results presented and correct any mistakes made by other players. 

The MULTINO concept allows for the development in many other fields of learning and while already working on some new lines, scallawags.com is open to teacher's suggestions. For further information or if requesting a sample, visit www.scallawags.com
