The team at Playground Equipment created a valuable and fun infographic that helps teachers and parents think of ways to incorporate play into everyday activities. Play stimulates growth and development in children and helps them explore, solve problems, and develop their motor skills. The graphic helps adults learn how to involve more play during the day through low-effort games, activities, and objects.
For example, parents are encouraged to think of creative ways to show love to their children. They can pretend their hands are paws when crossing the street or imagine how different animals might hug them. Simple talking games can go a long way. Parents can try playing “Would You Rather?” Through play, even dull tasks can become thought-provoking. Turn chores into playtime by gamifying them. See how fast the child can put away clothing or toys. Remember that boredom isn’t necessarily an enemy. Allow your child to be bored sometimes. New play ideas and problem-solving techniques can emerge from this state.
