Play is an important part of a child's early development. Playing helps young children's brains to develop and for their language and communication skills to mature. Structured games teach young children about communication, develop their motor skills and help with problem-solving. Play-based learning appeals to children's natural curiosity and desire to engage in experiences based on their interests, strengths and developing skills as they make sense of their world around them. Learning through play is the best way for young children to learn through interaction and to build social skills. These materials will help my students develop skills that will build great character outside and inside the school, this facilitates teamwork and encourage enthusiasm! We thank you advance!
