It's no great surprise my Kindergarten class loves playing games.
Why wouldn't they? They're only 5,6 and sometimes 7, years old.
They are meant to play. They are built for play!
Sometimes we seem to forget that with a crowded curriculum to teach, days that seem too short and special events like Book Week and Grandparents Day that eat away into our teaching time.
But like everything, there's always division. Two camps usually pitted against each other. We see with working mums v stay at home mums, public school v private schools, play-based v worksheets.
So how do we best teach our children all that they need to know?
