Imagine a classroom where learning is not just educational but also joyful! This course invites you to rethink traditional teaching methods and integrate meaningful play into your lessons. Inspired by research from the Harvard Graduate School of Education, we will explore how play, when aligned with clear learning goals, can enhance both academic and social skills. Suitable for all age groups, playful learning supports curriculum goals while making the educational experience more enjoyable for students. Empower your teaching with the culture of playful learning, and unleash your creativity to craft engaging, imaginative educational experiences that foster both competence and joy.
