Play based Learning

Play is an important part of arts. This is because in play children are engaged, they are communicating, organising and are making sense of their world. They are also playing for a purpose, that can be to have fun, to discover and to reach a goal. Play is a place for learning through which, children are engaging actively with people and objects. Additionally, most importantly, play is very natural for children and children are curious. Their curiosity leads to their learning.

Play also provides opportunities for children to:

· Learn through their imagination, their discovering and experimentation

· Creating social groups

· Challenging one another’s thinking

· Creating new understandings

· Reduce stress and increases copying skills

· Feel secure, feel healed, understood

· Create the power of wander.
