PLAYING

By Sandra J. Stone. More than 200 game ideas and other playful activities promote cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development. The child-centered, open-ended learning experiences divide into four categories: functional play (repetitive muscle movements), constructive play (using objects or materials to make something), dramatic play (role-playing or make-believe), and games with rules. Each activity connects to multiple extension ideas, and there are also a variety of solitary, parallel, and group play exercises. Grades K–1. Bibliography. Illustrated. 8½" x 11".
