Let Children Play - Structured and Unstructured Play

Let Children Play – Structured and Unstructured Play is an inspiring and practical workshop designed for early childhood educators to explore the essential balance between guided activities and child-led exploration. This session delves into how structured play can be used intentionally to develop specific cognitive, motor, and social skills, while unstructured play offers children the freedom to imagine, create, and build independence. Participants will reflect on the value of both forms of play and learn how to design a preschool environment that encourages curiosity, nurtures emotional growth, and supports holistic development. Through interactive discussions and real-world examples, educators will leave with a deeper understanding of how to thoughtfully integrate play into the daily rhythm—ensuring that learning remains joyful, meaningful, and developmentally appropriate.
