Learning Through Play

Learning through play is a term used to describe when a child learns to make sense of the world around them via engaging with their surrounding environment. It replies upon children being naturally curious to explore and discover.
There are five elements in children’s play:

1. Play must be pleasurable and enjoyable.
2. Play must have no extrinsic goals; there is no prescribed learning that must occur.
3. Play is spontaneous and voluntary.
4. Play involves active engagement on the part of the player.
5. Play involves an element of make-believe.
