2. Burns off energy
Playtime burns off energy and makes it easier for children to settle down in their lessons. Giving them time to run around, playing with their friends and making lots of noise prepares them for getting back into the classroom.
3. Encourages imagination
Inspiring their creativity and encouraging imagination through play supports cognitive and social development. It helps them to make sense of and understand their environment.
Their imaginations allow them to solve problems, come up with creative games, and discover their place in the world.
4. Keeps them active
We all know how tricky it can be to get children away from their screens and playing in the real world. Getting out on the playground and moving their bodies helps get them active and helps keep them fit. Playgrounds are a fantastic way to help children exercise without them even noticing because they’re having so much fun!
5. Physical development
When they’re moving, they’re developing physical skills. Playground equipment helps children to develop their strength, agility and balance. Children run around, climb up, slide, swing, jump, and teeter across different pieces of equipment.
