COMMONWEALTH Games bosses have launched an educational CD-ROM starring event mascot Kit.

Aimed at six to 11-year-olds, the disc Go for Gold with Kit features Kit participating in 12 different activities including boxing, weightlifting, discus, clay pigeon shooting and hockey.

Richard Staniforth, managing director of Productive Play which has produced the CD-ROM, said: "The game improves hand eye co-ordination and slots in with the national curriculum by improving numeracy and literacy. The children think they are just playing while adults know they are really learning."
