While this book does cover well-documented ideas, I was surprised at how many practical examples I could use within a setting that is already very creative and play-based.
It begins by looking at what play is in the primary school and referencing several different views of play. It builds on the early years' model and seeks to extend this into practice for older learners but with levels of challenge that enhance the opportunities.
It looks at different roles for the children, for example “child as investigator", before moving on to different types of play, showing how these could be applied to work with older children.
