Play Based Learning Tips

Play Based Learning (PBL) is exactly what the name suggests – children learning through play. We know children learn through play, but sometimes it’s hard to wrap our heads around exactly what they’re learning, how they’re learning, and ways that we can document and confirm that learning is happening through play. We’ve created some tips to help!

We invite teachers, caregivers and childcare professionals to share these tips! With that goal in mind, some of the tips include activity ideas that can be used in the classroom or at home. 

The goal of sharing these resources is to make play based learning more accessible for children and grown-ups in New Hampshire and beyond!
