As you develop yourself as a teacher, you will become more and more aware of the importance of play in your life, along with the lives of the children you work with. It’s important to stay in touch with the part of yourself that understands playfulness!
In a paragraph form, share your thoughts on the following:
- Think of an early childhood memory of a play experience. Did you have a favorite game, a special place, such as an attic or a tree house in your neighbor’s yard?
- Share your play experience. Then respond to the play-experiences shared by others.
- How will these play memories help you in your teaching?
