Introduction to Children's Play (Short course)

Course Aim: To raise learners’ awareness of the value of learning through play for young children and to gain skills to provide appropriate play activities.

Course Information: A very hands on practical course looking at play from the child’s perspective, exploring why children need to play and how they learn from it. You will develop a folder of ideas, information, resources and recipes and be involved with other students in practical activities and discussions, sharing experiences and exchanging ideas.

The course runs for 1.5 hours per day over 3 days and includes practical play activities in the following areas:

  • Paint
  • Natural and Recycled materials
  • Food and Snacks

The course also includes elements on the following areas:

· Child development

· The role of the adult

· Health and safety

· Equal opportunities

Suitable For:  The course is suitable for parents wanting ideas and skills for improving play with their children and anyone wanting to work with children.  IT is an excellent course for anyone looking to volunteer in a toddler group or see work in an early years setting, or as a pre-course activity for a higher level early years qualification.
