4. In the intellectual domain, play enables children to acquire skills that are related to thinking. These skills enable the child to explore, deepen, extend and improve their understanding of their environment and experiences. For example, play can foster the development of: • Increases in attention span (e.g. puzzles) •Creativity and imagination (e.g. kitchen, oven, table, dolls, plates, cups, knives, forks etc.) •Problem-solving skills (e.g. chess) • Cause and effect (e.g. put bigger blocks at the bottom for support) 4 In the affective domain, play can serve as the platform to build the child’s willingness to learn, ability to persist, motivation to seek and use new knowledge. For example, play can build the child’s: • Self-esteem (e.g. proud of what we did) • Self-confidence (e.g. keep trying to build a complex building) • Self-motivation (e.g. doing it together) • Developing independence
5 In the social domain, play can enhance the ways the child relates to others (social skills). For example, play experiences can mirror real life social situations. This can help the child learn a variety of social skills that are the glue that holds social interactions and relationships together such as: • Co-operation skills (e.g. playing hide and seek ) • Friendship skills (e.g. water play with another child) • Conversational skills (e.g. peek a boo) • Understand how to behave in different situations (e.g. playing doctors and nurses) 7 In the educational domain, play provides a fun and enjoyable context to learn emergent literacy skills. For example, play can facilitate children’s learning of: • Numeracy skills (e.g. Counting and stacking cups e.g. 1, 2, 3,4) • Reading skills (e.g. learning that letters, numbers, signs, words, symbols have a purpose ) • Writing skills (e.g. scribbling, painting, drawing) • How stories work (e.g. plot, characters, structure, purpose)
