εκμαθηση απο των παιχνιδιων/παιγνιομαθηση

Explanation:
"Learning through games/play-learning." Since the concept of learning through play is nothing new, but in fact quite ancient (Quintilian, for example, alludes to it), might I suggest something coined from the classical tongue, like παιγνιομαθηση?
