SUMMARY:Approaches to Play Exploring Play Schemas
DESCRIPTION:Approaches to Play: Exploring Play Schemas\n\n\n\n\n“Why do they keep throwing things?!”“I don’t know how to capture children’s interests… they’re just playing.”“They keep doing the same thing over and over!”“What do you mean spinning in circles is Play?!” \nIf these questions sound familiar\, you’re not alone. Many early childhood educators wonder about the behaviours they see every day—behaviours that are often rich with meaning. To understand them\, we need to look more closely at how children play and what those actions are telling us. That’s where schematic play comes in. \nIn this workshop\, we will explore the powerful lens of play schemas and how they help us interpret children’s interests\, patterns\, and behaviours. We’ll dive into common schemas such as trajectory\, rotation\, transporting\, enveloping\, enclosing\, positioning\, connecting\, transforming\, and more. Through observation\, reflection\, and hands-on examples\, we’ll practice identifying possible play schemas and brainstorm responsive ways to support\, extend\, and scaffold these play invitations. \nWhen we begin to see the stories embedded in children’s actions\, play comes alive—illuminating their thinking\, curiosity\, and drive to explore. Together\, we’ll toss ideas around\, spin a few strategies\, and piece them all together in a session designed to reignite your wonder for play. \nLet’s unravel the meaning behind children’s play… and have some fun while we’re at it! \nWorkshop Goals:  \n\nIdentify the meaning and value of schematic play and play schemas\nExamine the various play schemas observed in early childhood environments\nCreate responsive practices to support children in various play schemas\n\nThings to Keep in Mind: \n\nRegistration closes 24 hours in advance!\nPD funding and RT funding available to eligible participants.\nCertificate of participation will be available to registered participants.\nAll registered participants will have 30 days access to the webinar recording.\nThis workshop will be held online through the Zoom platform.\nYou will need access to a smartphone\, laptop\, tablet or computer with audio capabilities to join us.\nA link will be emailed to you 24 hours prior to the workshop.
