Making Things Better for You!
Play is...Experiences that support play and learning
Making Things Better for You!
Any activity engaged in for the enjoyment it gives, without consideration of the end result. It is entered into voluntarily & is lacking in external force & compulsion.
Play is Serious!Experiences that support play and learning
Making Things Better for You!
Psychoanalysts believe that play is necessary for mastering emotional traumas or disturbances
Psychosocialists believe it is necessary for ego mastery and learning to live with everyday experiences
Constructivists believe it is necessary for cognitive growth
Maturationists believe it is necessary for competence building and for socializing functions in all cultures of the world
Neuroscientists believe it is necessary for emotional and physical health, motivation, and love of learning.
3. Evidence also suggests a strong relationship between play and cognitive development. Studies identify improvements to attention,
planning skills, attitudes, creativity and divergent thinking, perspective-taking, memory and language development
2. Play provides the rich experience children need to learn social skills; become sensitive to others' needs and
values; handle exclusion and dominance; manage their emotions; learn self-control; and share power, space, and ideas with others. At all levels of development, play enables children to feel comfortable and in control of their feelings
1. Play often involves physical activity, it is closely related to the development &
refinement of children‘s gross & fine motor skills & their physical awareness, it simultaneously refines & develops skills that enable them to feel confident, secure, & self-assured.
