My Connection to Play

Play represents having fun and learning and teaching all in the same aspect of life. Its a time to play and its a time to be serious.


As a Child I loved to go to the beach...
Two of my favorite Play items would a sand pail/shovels and a beach ball
When I was younger people supported my aspect of play by just interacting with me and my mother would come up with the weirdest games to keep me and my brother entertained. Although we would not know we would be learning while playing and it was all fun. She is a teacher and has been for about 22 years. So she is a very creative person and knows how to have fun and teach and not make it boring. She incorporates play with a lot of things she does.

Today play is very different because a lot of children use technology as a source of play. A lot of them don't like to go outdoors and play just out in nature and explore the outdoors. OUTDOORS is what I would call good old fashion fun. Now PS2,XBOX, and DS are what children call fun now. Whatever happen to parents telling children to go outside and make games up or even play hand games patty cake Mrs. Mary mat, slaps. All those are hand games that I played. Even hop scotch and hula hooping etc.
