Play based learning and its place in the classroom
According to Care for Kids, for young children, play is more than just play. Children learn more in the first 5 years than they do at any other time in their lives. So it is important to use play for education and building learning pathways before school begins.
Play based learning is becoming increasingly popular in schools over recent years. Requiring physical, mental and verbal engagement, play motivates growth and learning, and shapes the structural design of the brain. Through playing, children learn to construct, destruct and solve problems. It gives them the opportunity to be inquisitive and analyse, explore and discover. Thus, it is an excellent approach to learning for growing young minds.
