Playtime in 2nd Grade?

Posted by on Aug 10, 2011 in Featured Articles, Uncategorized | 0 comments

Do you have play time in your school for 2nd graders? I know do know that playing is the best way to teach preschool, how about older kids – 2nd grade in particular? Do you have free play where kids are aloud to play with any education classroom games (not center activities). Something like sections for kids to build (using blocks or other manipulative), paint, do craft or even play dress up? I really hope to give my students this school year some time to ‘play’: free play but at the same time learn. I really want to include a dress up corner where students can use nursing uniforms to play ‘doctor’s office’ for them to improve their communication skill. I noticed that most of my students are ashamed to do a ‘play’ during the past 2 years I thought but last year, I did a ‘play’ and all my students enjoyed it. What are your thoughts about this?
