Playtime Revolution

Are your children in need of a playtime revolution? Then read on…

Play is hugely important in almost every area of children’s lives. It improves social skills, brain development and creativity whilst supporting emotional resilience, physical development, confidence and learning. Our early years colleagues have long understood the importance of play but if we’re honest many schools do little to create the kind of rich play environments and experiences that can unlock these benefits for children.

In recent years, several Scottish primary schools have developed innovative approaches to enabling child-led outdoor play in morning and lunchtime breaks. This training resource has been created to share the learning from these schools. Its aim is to demonstrate how free play in schools can support children’s learning and development and to share practical, tested ideas and approaches to providing richer play experiences in primary schools.
