Play and Curriculum

This lesson showed me that play and learning are deeply connected. I used to think play was just a break, but now I see how it can teach math, language, and social skills in a fun, meaningful way. I remember learning to count through games like hopscotch and developing social skills through role play. As a future teacher, I want to design lessons that blend play with learning, using games and creative activities to keep kids engaged and help them grow. Play isn’t just fun—it’s essential for development.
