Come and PLAY with us!

Catch the recording of our playful, practical and interactive exploration of ways to bring more play into learning, across different ages, subjects and contexts.

Kym Scott and Becky Carlzon brought together educators for a slightly different kind of webinar...

There was no fixed route through the session.

Instead, the people who showed up helped decide where we went!

We chose our own PLAY adventure! ▶️

This wasn't your usual webinar.

We had a LOT we could have explored together...

  • Taking maths and literacy outdoors
  • Rethinking the rhythm of the day
  • Amplifying review and reflection time
  • Using powerful language for play and learning
  • Exploring Slow STEAM
  • Bringing more movement into learning
  • Creating playful provocations
  • Finding possibilities for play with older learners

But rather than deciding everything in advance, we shaped the experience around the educators who joined us live.

We found out who was in the room, the ages and contexts they were working with and what they most wanted some practical inspiration for.

Then we delved into our bank of photographs, examples, strategies and ideas and followed the questions and interests of the group.

Your context. Your questions. Your choice.

So, where did we end up?

The people in the room guided the adventure, and this time we explored:

  • Bringing parents along with us by sharing the science and the "why" behind play. Kym shared a metacognitive process she uses to help parents understand what children are learning through play.
  • Connecting didactic teaching and play so that each can strengthen the other, while still ensuring curriculum expectations and learning intentions are met.
  • Taking learning outdoors, with practical ideas for making greater use of outdoor spaces.
  • Resourcing play on a budget, thinking creatively about what we already have and where we can find possibilities without spending a fortune.
  • And more!

It was practical, responsive and full of real examples from classrooms and schools.

And now you can watch the adventure back and take the ideas that work for your context.

Watch in your own time

The live session may be over, but you can still join us through the recording. Dip into the ideas, explore the examples and see what sparks something for your own learners.
