Include two to three pictures of essential
play items for your younger self.
Describe how people supported play when you
were younger and/or the role of play in your childhood.
The people who
supported play when I was young my baby sitter Ms. Linda. She gave me all types of
toys to play with and not only did she do that she played with me also.
Write a brief entry on how you feel play today
is similar or different from the play in which you engaged as a child and what
your hope for young is now with regard to play.
Play today is different to me because children have more to play with and there are more day cares available which allows for children to go out and play in a yard with others
instead of inside because at the time it was more home day cares.
Hey Keyisha,
ReplyDeleteYou are so right play is different today. I could remember playing outside daily with friends,racing,on the swing, or riding my bike but,in today's world now children rarely play outside unless they are at daycare.I find myself telling my students to go play because most of them will stand by me the entire out door time.
I agree that play is very different today. I remember spending all of my time outside as a child and nowadays children only "play" with toys that do all of the work for them. It is sad that they choose technology over playing with one another! I also see kids sitting by the teachers outside on the playground instead of interacting with one another.
