Six Different Types of Play - #3 Active Play


There are six different types of play that encourage healthy development.


Active play involves physical activity and provides an enjoyable way for children to exercise. When children take part in active play, they burn energy, consume calories, and build healthy bodies. Through active play, children learn how to coordinate their brain and body functions to complete tasks and also develop motor skills and hand-eye coordination. Active play often takes place outdoors, or in a large open area that allows freedom of movement. Examples of active play include sports, hopscotch, swinging on a play set, and movement games, such as tag or dodge ball. Due to the physical nature of active play, teachers should teach children safety tips and promote teamwork and good sportsmanship.
