Many skills that are taught in schools can be re-enforced through play. Drill is a time-honored way to help children remember facts. The more they repeat the fact accurately, the more your child remembers the fact. Add that to repetitive fun activities, and he doesn't even realize he is doing school work. Many educational electronic games are based on this fact. The instant feedback of these types of games helps the child quickly see how he is doing.
