Learning

through Play

in Action

(6)

Why Play?

In play children develop exploratory as well as explanatory drives: they actively look for patterns, test hypotheses and seek explanations, leading to increased complexity in thinking,

learning and understanding (Gopnik et al, 1999). These cognitive processes are socially and culturally situated and,

through the subject disciplines, can become increasingly refined.

(Wood, E. & Attfield, J., 2005)

(7)

Why Play?

Apart from being an ideal mode of activity

fostering children’s physical and psychological development, play facilitates the development of creativity, problem-solving skills and

versatility, and it also helps children express emotions, build confidence and develop social skills. (CDC, 2017)

(8)

Pleasurableplay is enjoyable. Play sometimes includes frustrations, challenges and fears; however enjoyment is a key feature.

Active play requires action, either physical, verbal or mental engagement with materials, people, ideas or the environment.

Voluntary play is freely chosen. However, players can also be invited or prompted to play.

Process-oriented play is a means unto itself and players may not have an end or goal in sight.

Self-motivating play is considered its own reward to the player (Shipley, 2008) .

(Barblett, L. , 2010)

Small world play utilises miniature equipment representing objects familiar to children, e.g. a house with furniture and a family.

(Levy, 2008)

Sensory play involves playing with natural material and realia, e.g. sand, water, clay, dough, paper, branches.
