Providing a play-based curriculum is challenging for many practitioners. Play and Practice investigates the values and beliefs that underpin play and demonstrates through case studies how play opportunities can be observed, planned and assessed in a meaningful context for the child. Organised into four sections that mirror the EYFS, this book shows how play underpins each of the principles and is the common thread linking them together. Chapter topics include: celebrating children's play choices, inspiring environments for inspirational play, and creative play for flexible learning.
