Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (3): Rick Henry, philgoddard, Luis Jarque

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

"Learn and have fun" is perfectly correct and good English. FWIW.

Play and learn

Play and learn, in this order, as the play part is the first that attracts the attention and the learning part is the consequence of the playing.

“To learn and have fun” would be a literal translation that in English doesn't sound very well. More over I specified in my answer why in my opinion “play” should come before “learn”.
Peer comment(s):

agree philgoddard : I'm not sure a 5 is justified, but this is how I'd translate it.

Thanks mercedesrizzuti.
disagree liz askew : aprender = to learn//because it is incorrect. Jugar = to play, "aprender" = to learn. So how would you translate "Play, learn and have fun"??

Learn and enjoy yourself/yourselves / Get wise and enjoy yourself

Personally, I like my second option, but it depends on the age of the children.

Learn while having fun

I think this fits because it implies that both verbs are being done simultaneously.
