Global School Play Day – February 2nd
Next week, on Wednesday, February 2nd, we will be participating in a Global School Play Day! Play Days are a global effort created by educators in support of unstructured playtime for students around the world. One million students across the globe participated last year!
Students can bring class to bring anything they wish to play with to school on Wednesday, Feb 2nd. The only restrictions: they must bring toys and these toys may NOT require batteries or electricity. No devices.
Ideas: board games, dolls, Legos, blocks, trucks, cars, racetracks, playing cards, empty cardboard boxes, markers, jigsaw puzzles, blankets (for forts), social games (charades, Pictionary, etc.).
For more information about the value of unstructured play, here is some research.
