An Activity to think about Play...

An idea from our keynote speaker, Annette Oliver.

Think Wonder, Imagination, Curiosity...

With a bag full of random, and I mean random items, invite children to do one of the following:

• create a new game
• tell a story
• make a list of words that begin with the same letter as each item
• describe ways in which they are different, and which they are the same..
• use items to create a person or animal
• create an invitation
• sketch or create an invention.
• make something that moves.

Our bag had pop caps, poker chips, small wooden blocks.

We created a train.  :)  

We also used this time to look at Twitter and other social media forms to tell our stories.  What a great discussion about telling our stories as we play!

Joy!
