Here is where all the fun happens! Deep down, I always wanted to be a science teacher. My favorite teacher in high school, Ms. Jones, taught science and I enjoyed her class because it always felt like play. There’s a science to teaching and there’s definitely a science to play-based learning. Before I go into a deeper rant, let me pause to say welcome to the Eduplaylab! Here is where I’m going to share a few examples of the activities I use to implement play-based learning strategies in my classroom. You can also follow me on Instagram to check out how my journey is going! Feel free to comment, download and try any and all activities posted here with your students.
