Hi I am stuck on a question on my cert III in childcare I was wondering if anyone can help?
I need to find the important features of play and instead can only find the characteristics of play.
I managed to find one website that has features of play they are:
1. Children use first hand experiences from
life.
2. Children make up rules as they play in
order to keep control.
3. Children symbolically represent as they
play, making and adapting play props.
4. Children choose to play - they cannot be
made to play.
5. Children rehearse their future in their role
play.
6. Children sometimes play alone.
7. Children pretend when they play.
8. Children play with adults and other children
cooperatively in pairs or groups.
9. Children have a personal play agenda, which
may or may not be shared.
10. Children are deeply involved and difficult to
distract from their deep learning as they
wallow in their play and learning.
11. Children try out their most recently
acquired skills and competences, as if
celebrating what they know.
12. Children coordinate ideas and feelings and
make sense of relationships with their
families, friends and cultures.
I don't feel like that is right though for the question. Can someone please help?
