Alternate Discussion for Check-in if you didn’t attend the 3/1 or 3/2 Zoom Check-ins

Question

I’m sorry you weren’t able to join us at the Zoom check-in. This article (Links to an external site.) from Harvard University really encompasses a lot of what we discussed.

Please respond to the following:

  • How would you define free play? Please use your own words here – no quotes.  

Your play from childhood:

  •  What are your memories of play from childhood?  
  • How did it benefit you?  
  • Why might children be playing less today than even ten years ago?  
  • Are they really playing less? 

Read at least two of your classmates’ posts.

  • Can you connect to what they played as children?
