Child’s Play, written by Higuchi Ichiyo, is a short novel centred around the growth of children, particularly those associated with the pleasure quarters. The story takes place over a few days, nevertheless, we are given an idea on the backgrounds of the three main characters, Shōta, Midori, and Nobu, and watch them gradually lose their childlike innocence. Although not explicitly stated, the last three paragraphs suggest that all three protagonists have followed the footsteps of their parents and in Midori’s case, her older sister. This essay discusses the impending tragic future of children who are destined to take after the occupations of their family.
Children acting and dressing as if they are a character would allow them to truly feel as if they are that individual. For example, children act as students. During this they pretend they are interested in education and behave as such by respecting their teacher and completing their classwork to receive better grades. The child playing the teacher would also perform as if they are well-educated and also caring and responsible towards the students. Acting as a character allows children to understand and practice moral behavioral qualities, such as, respect and responsibility.
I agree that play-based learning offers diverse opportunities for children to explore, discover and create, they can also discover new things and communicate with peer during free-play time. Frobel said that “Play is the highest expression of human development in childhood, for it alone is the free expression of what is in a child 's soul” (Froebel, 1887). He believed in the importance of play in a child’s learning as creative activity. Play provided the means for a child’s intellectual, social, emotional and physical development which are necessary elements in educating the “whole” children allowing them to use all imaginative powers and physical movements to explore their interests.
All good teachers know that learning builds on prior knowledge and experiences and one’s learning language is foundation for future learning (Nieto, S., & Bode, P.,2008). Providing opportunities to students, to make connections to their background knowledge will help increase their learning skills and build vocabulary through it. Moreover, using the strategy of Role-play will encourage learners to make those connections as well. Herrell and Jordan (2009) mentions that role –play enables the student to create experiences with which to link the new vocabulary. As watching Diane Leonard (Strategies on Video DVD) implementing the strategy of vocabulary role-play to her kindergartens, I noticed how well she modeled it for the students and how
In general, playing is the mutual popular activity among children because playing is fun and flexible, it can be personal, with the presence of others or with the social presence of others (De Kort & Ijsselsteijn, 2008). The researchers and experts believe that the power of play has an important psychological role in children’s development, as reinforced by Sutton-Smith (1993, p. 279) using “play as progress” and “play ethos” by Peter Smith (1988, p. 166) both cited in Pellegrini (1995). Goldstein (2012) stated that pretend play is one of the common types of interactive social play among 2- to 6-years-old children. He also mentioned that as children grow, the nature and function of pretend play will also change from simple imitation to more sophisticated joint activity. Pretend play is a play behaviour that portrays during imaginative play, fantasy play and sociodramatic play and they tend to be used interchangeably (Fein, 1981).
Why use drama? Drama is in every child’s life. They take part in forms of make believe, they form their identity through fictional situations that relate to the real world. These experiences can be applied at school through organised play and drama to support students in learning which is interactive in their primary years and throughout the school. (Farmer, D 2011)
Play therapy refers to a method of psychotherapy with children in which a therapist uses a child's fantasies and the symbolic meanings of his or her play as a medium for understanding and communication with the child. The aim of play therapy is to decrease those behavioural and emotional difficulties that interfere significantly with a child's normal functioning. Inherent in this aim is improved communication and understanding between the child and his parents. Less obvious
Despite it being easy to list down various play activities, it is difficult to come up with a set definition for it although it is widely accepted that play should very much be free, unstructured and mostly child-initiated. The purpose of play and the supposed benefits the different types of play aids in the development of a child will be further discussed. Given that play is such an integral part of a child’s life, based on evolutionary perspectives, there has to be a reason why children engage in play and thus classical play theories attempt to explain the purpose of play.
By encouraging role playing it increases peer relationship, communication, and breaking any barriers that might be created. Placing leadership and employees to role play allows both roles to better understand the different angles as to where initiatives are created and how they are executed. There will be an outside facilitator providing role playing trainings, where different scenarios will be provided. There will be on the moment feedback provided to the team by the facilitator to allow a better understanding of the impact each have. Role playing is economically inexpensive as it can occur at different times of the year with small group of people, and in the long run minimizing any distraction from the goal (such as negative workplace
Creative play and organized play has two different aspects. I beleive that creative play is more important for many reasons such as children using their imagination, sense of humor, being theirselves, and also learning new techniques while going along. Many children find that using their imagination puts them in a state of being free. Using their imagination reassures them that life is great. It lets them know that they could be anything that they put their minds into and that they could do whatever they want.
