Play Throughout the Curriculum (part 1)

Play and formal curriculum areas are not mutually exclusive, but work together to enhance student learning. Play is present in all curriculum areas and makes a significant contribution to learning. The combination of hands-on experiences, rich materials, thoughtful planning, and artful teaching supports and engages learners across the range of curriculum areas. In this two-part segment, we see how teachers offer engaging learning opportunities in the specific areas of English language arts, mathematics, and science with links to social activities and the arts. In addition, we see crosscurricular teaching and students choosing their own learning opportunities.
