In this week's episode we talk all about where the play has gone and how to incorporate more play into your classroom through open-ended teaching strategies. We all know why play is beneficial in the classroom, but it still only shows up for 30 minutes a day in structured choice times.

What are we doing instead? Academics. What can we do to incorporate more play? Open up your teaching style to a more open-ended child-led style and make play the pulse of the classroom. Making the shift in small easy to do steps can start to help incorporate more play a bit at a time.

Finding balance in the classroom between free play and guided play, open-ended and close-ended materials, and child-led and teacher-led learning will get you well on your way.
