Happy Sunday!
While looking through my resource book, I came across one of my favourite resource for explaining the importance of play to parents. A friend had emailed this to me a while back and I have kept it as a very simple yet powerful tool in my resource book. It is a letter that is written from "play" explaining the benefits of play and why children need it. Sometimes we come across parents who don't quite understand the benefits and importance of play for children's growth and development. This letter is great to put in the classroom as a reminder or it can be sent home with parents as a useful tool to explain why play is needed for their child. It can also be given to a parent who may not quite understand why play is crucial.
“Play energizes us and enlivens us. It eases our burdens. It renews
our natural sense of optimism and opens us up to new possibilities”
