A4 Play is a force for healing and growth. Through play, we’re all better. #playisnecessary #weplaychat
If we’re going to have a better world, we need to provide lots of rich play for everyone. #playtogether #playmatters #playisnecessary #weplaychat nitter.gq/AtlParentLAB/status/12…
Play teaches us to notice when people are treated differently both in good & bad ways. Play, in pairs or groups, also teaches us to see people as equals – we learn to cooperate and integrate our own skills, identities, & knowledge into the experience to succeed. #WePlayChat
Weather contingencies in Canada are different than in SC! Snow/ice/blizzard vs Hurricane/tornado/flooding #WePlayChat
Where is the dropbox shared folder? #WePlayChat
We heard it here first. #WePlayChat
You are the hashtag queen. #LeadByExample #weplaychat
#WednesdayWisdom from our #WePlayChat - #teenagers who #volunteer become adults who volunteer! #StartYoung #LeadByExample
Volunteers catch the vision (or are encouraged in the vision) and spread their experiences into their world of influence. #WePlayChat
Teenagers who volunteer become adults who volunteer. #WePlayChat #teenpower
A2: In recreation, it can be difficult to get volunteers (especially adult volunteers). However, many high school students who have participated in our programs are interested in volunteering as they enjoyed their time and want to keep the fun going! #WePlayChat
Volunteers who play well and know their role to assist children in the child's play goals are the best. #WePlayChat
Well said. #WePlayChat
@USPlayCoalition #weplaychat Q2: Volunteers can be anyone (and any age) that understand and value PLAY and recognize that their role as volunteers is creating opportunity for play, not dictating or directing the experience
No children to play is sad.
I usually have some of my kids with me, which helps. BYOK #WePlayChat
Attracting an audience depends on the audience. Some children can be overwhelmed.
#weplaychat
I agree, BUT the novelty of bigger and better is key for attracting people to a specific play event. Bigger and better doesn't have to mean more expensive though :) #weplaychat
Yes. We often miss the power of simplicity. #weplaychat
A1: Sometimes in recreation, we get too caught up with "bigger and better" and "we need more stuff to draw people" but there are plenty of opportunities to play just at parks and playgrounds. Elements of play are all around us! #WePlayChat
