Tuesday Playday: The Importance of Free Play for School-Aged Kids
We often think of play as something reserved for younger children, but free play is an important part of learning, even for school-aged kids! With the structure of school and the daily academic challenges, kids need time to unwind and explore on their own terms.
Why is free play so beneficial? It allows children to develop cooperative and cognitive skills through free exploration. Whether they’re building with blocks or creating imaginary worlds, they’re using their creativity and problem-solving abilities. Not only that, but free play gives them a chance to relax a bit after the rigors of the classroom, helping them recharge for more learning.
Looking for a way to incorporate more free play into your child’s week? Take a break and drop in on Tuesdays for some fun! Kids can enjoy building toys or try out different games with friends. It’s a great opportunity for them to engage with peers, build new skills, and most importantly, have fun!
Let’s embrace the power of free play and give kids the balance they need to grow academically, socially, and emotionally.
