Abstract: An illuminated teaching device and board game comprising a square receptacle having opaque side walls and bottom and a top wall formed with a plurality of orifices each of which receives a pushbutton switch for completing an electrical circuit from a battery to a lamp positioned beneath each section of the receptacle defined by vertical partitions arranged in normal relation to each other. Opposed side walls are formed with confronting channels which slidably receive the edges of a panel which performs different functions in providing aids to education. For teaching purposes, this removable panel includes sections of different colors and indicia, such as the names of colors, arithmetical figures or representations of such objects as pets. When used as a game board, each pushbutton switch may be depressed to turn on a light which is kept illuminated until the particular game or step thereof being played is completed.
