JANUARY 13, 2022

By Guest Columnists Sarah Lytle and Ally Masters, Playful Learning Landscapes

Imagine a caregiver and child sitting at a bus stop. The child is antsy and is having trouble waiting. Now imagine that the bus stop has a small area behind it with activities for the caregiver and child to engage in while they are waiting. A short walking path is dotted with tiles that display pictures. The child walks along the path, and together the caregiver and child make up a story using the pictures they come across. Instead of merely waiting for a bus, they are now engaged in playful learning: the child is active (not passive), engaged (not distracted), the vocabulary they’re learning is meaningful (not disjointed), this learning is socially interactive (not solo), the activity can be tweaked to many different levels and is therefore iterative (not merely repetitive), and finally, it is joyful.
