"My Connections to Play"

“You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation.” ― Plato
“Combinatory play seems to be the essential feature in productive thought.” ― Albert Einstein

Images of play



When I was in school, we had recess, and children were allowed to play during the day.  Play was seen as a way to work off lunch and to tire children down to make them more attentive in class.  Play was also a way for children to learn to socialize with other children.  Today, play is questionable in school.  People do not understand the benefits of play in learning.  As a result, opponents of play in school understate the benefits of play as a learning tool.  Play today is less active than when I was in school.  Therefore, I would like to see more creative play in the classroom.
