The importance of play in schools
Is play key to developing creativity and critical thinking? In this article, I discuss the importance of play within the home and educational settings. Sadly playtime seems to be seen as unimportant in regards to the more mainstream teaching methods once children leave the foundation stage. As a forest school leader play is a fundamental right that sadly seems to have been eroded in many schools, particularly in the USA where 'recess' has been shortened, mostly to enable more time in the classroom. Hopefully, as we place more emphasis on good mental health the importance of play within the context of education will return.
