Play and Playgrounds


Every classroom community problem is a curriculum problem. 


Play and Playgrounds

Play: What does play afford?
Exploration
Learn social skills
Stress relief
Develop empathy
Learn role playing
Therapeutic
Fun, pleasure, excitement, motivation

What is play? How is play different from work?
Play is fun
Work is not fun work is required, work has goals
Play is unstructured, play does not have goals.
Sometimes play has goals if you play soccer
Work can be fun
Play creates an environment where experiments and mistakes are allowed.


What do play environments look like?
