Children's Rule Knowledge in Invented Games.
Castle, Kathryn
Journal of Research in Childhood Education, v12 n2 p197-209 Spr-Sum 1998
Analyzed first, second, and third graders' invented games for type, complexity, and rule knowledge; compared game-rule knowledge to classroom-rule knowledge. Found two types of rules: conduct and procedural, indicating children perceive need for rules that tell how to play and that specify appropriate behavior (conduct rules resembled classroom rules). Idea of competition was found only at third-grade level. (EV)
