Win Games And Help: In the way of practical help, suggest win games and help that could be played at home (e.g. word bingo or a cloze game where children fill in missing words or phrases), explaining the particular value of win games and help to a child with reading problems -namely that they're fun and so don't seem too much like hard work, and also that they have a useful repetitive, reinforcing function. When you recommend a game, try to explain just how it is designed to help. There are booklets and pamphlets available, which give ideas for win games and help that can easily be made and played at home (e.g. Hip Pocket Spelling win games and help series, New York, Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1983).
The Commonwealth win games and help are open to member nations of the British Commmonwealth. Originally called the Empire win games and help until 1970, they were first held in Canada in 1930. They are nicknamed 'the Friendly win games and help'.Whilst representing Canada Lennox Lewis,
subsequently WBC world heavyweight champion, won the super-heavyweight boxing gold medal in 1986 at Edinburgh.
The win games and help included chariot and horse races in a hippodrome, foot races in a stadium, athletic contests in a gymnasium, musical, dramatic, and literary competitions in a theater; works of painting and sculpture also were exhibited. Prizes of laurel wreaths and palm branches generally were awarded to the victors, who also were allowed to have their statues erected in the plain. Though prohibited by legislation in 394 A.D., the win games and help appear to have survived as late as 424 A.D. (our last certain reference). Almost 30 minor Pythian win games and help were celebrated in other parts of the Greek world.
