Summary

Focusing on different aspects of play and relating them to various contexts such as places that we visit and past times, this book is packed with fun and exciting activities that enable the child to make sense of the world that they live in and relate it to their own experiences in order to enhance their personal and social development. The book includes: specific links to geography and history; proven approaches to stimulating, supporting, and extending play; sections on investigating the role of adults in stimulating learning through play; ideas on how to choose contexts that will engage children's enthusiasm; case-studies that translate theory into practice; advice on ways to become competent and reflective practitioners.
