How Children
Learn by Playing
The idea of children learning by playing may seem outrageous to some parents and educational institutions, which firmly believe that learning is all about getting good grades in school. Here, we talk about how the focus of learning goes beyond grades, and how kids can be taught some of the most complex concepts simply by playing and engaging in some activities.
The concept of learning by playing is not new. In fact, for ages, children have been taught highly complex concepts by means of games and activities - concepts that they wouldn't have otherwise grasped. Such games and activities enhance personal learning and development that no book can provide. It is true that a school provides education, but knowledge is subjective and can be increased and improved by means of some very simple methods such as playing games. There are so many things that you have your kids do, without realizing the kind of message it is imparting to them, or the kind of effect it has on their minds. Playing particularly has a positive effect on kids and helps develop their personality and skills.
What Children Learn By Playing
Instead of having kids cram information and simply talking to them about various concepts, parents, along with several educational institutions, are adopting the art of teaching by playing with children. This, they believe, is a better way of inculcating not only concepts but also essential values, particularly in the most formative stages of a child's life. It is human nature to learn by experience, rather than when told or explained by someone else. Children should be allowed to learn from the consequences of their actions, and then realize why they were or weren't asked to do something. With parent and teacher participation and involvement, for children, learning can be made fun rather than a mundane, stressful task that emphasizes only on cramming as much information as possible.

A lot of concepts that education cannot
impart are taught by the simple act of engaging in various indoor and outdoor
activities. Here's what kids learn when they engage in such activities:
·
By being allowed to play, children
are free to explore their surroundings and develop experiences that are unique
to them.
·
They learn to take control and
are capable of making their own decisions.
·
They learn to respect rules and
the choice of others around them.
·
Children learn how to use their
imagination in play and this helps develop creativity. The use of imagination
also helps them shut out unpleasantness and tackle inherent fears.
·
Free play allows kids to indulge
and appease their inquisitiveness.
·
Interactions with others help develop
communication skills and aid personality development.
·
The involvement of parents in the
entire process helps strengthen the bond between the child and parent, as
children learn how to share their experiences with their parents.
Examples of How Children Learn by Playing
·
Why are kids taught mathematics
on the Abacus before they are taught it in the classroom? It is because the
abacus lays a strong foundation upon which the subject revolves. The basics of
addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division are all taught on this
colorful tool, where kids learn how these concepts work by manually moving the
beads. This makes it a playful activity that allows learning by playing.
·
Board games such as Monopoly
teach children how to use money wisely at a young age. It teaches them how to
carry out transactions, and how to make decisions for themselves. Games such as
Scrabble help children strategize and score more points by placing appropriate
letters in the right spots.
·
In the digital age, a lot of
educational computer games and video games have been designed to teach children
basic concepts such as strategy, the importance of teamwork, along with
enhancing focus and concentration. Some schools in the US have started allowing
kids to design video games that help them learn in the process of designing.
·
In the classroom, children are
also taught the power of healthy communication, of group effort, and the
benefits of team building. It teaches children not only to function as a group,
but to lead and manage large groups of people, thereby helping them develop
leadership skills.
·
Similar is the case with outdoor
games and activities. Being the captain of a football team teaches a child how
to lead, manage and achieve goals by means of the aforementioned concepts. In
activities like camping, children are taught the importance of nature, and the
value of having the comfort of a home and a bed, when they are roughing it up
outdoors.
