I think PLAY in the Foundation Phase are very crucial. We tend to forget that the learners are still minors and that they love / enjoy to PLAY, as to sit in a class with an open textbook in front of them. It definitely boosts their confidence, motivating them into participating in activities and mingle with friends. This Unit taught me that Play involves a state of mind / disposition, contains elements of surprise / challenge, it's voluntary and unifying, forming part of the socializing process etc. Incorporating the use of games and dancing /singing in the theme of the day, will definitely make learning more interesting.
