Highlights for Children reposted this
This week, our Highlights for Children / Tinkergarten team used our own curriculum, took our own advice and PLAYED. There really is no better way to build connection, trust and that fun, flexible approach to problem solving that helps you build great things and make a giant impact together. How did we play? * We made party hats for the Earth's Happy Birthday (perfect for the Spring Equinox). https://lnkd.in/eEPpa2Xm * We engaged in "Not A" play, wondering all of the things a "Not a Tarp" "Not a Box" and "Not a Pillowcase" could be. https://lnkd.in/eZ7iCNyT How are you playing with your teammates?
