Overview of Play
![Page 6: The Art of Play Facilitation](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56812a8c550346895d8e33b2/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Purpose of Play
“Play teaches young animals what they can and cannot do at a time when they are relatively free from the survival pressures of adult life.”
Dr. Jane Goodall
(The Jane Goodall Institute)
![Page 7: The Art of Play Facilitation](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56812a8c550346895d8e33b2/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
“For humans and other animals, play is a universal
training course and language of trust. The belief that
one is safe with another being or in any situation is
formed over time during regular play. Trust is the
basis of intimacy, cooperation, creativity, successful
work, and more.”
Dr. Stuart Brown National Institute for Playhttp://nifplay.org

Zone of Optimal Engagement
• Arousal level + self regulation = optimal performance
• Arousal: level of alertness present to meet task demands
• Self regulation: monitoring of arousal level for
successful task engagement and completion
![Page 15: The Art of Play Facilitation](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56812a8c550346895d8e33b2/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Zone of Proximal Development
• From Vygotsky’s work
• Also known as the “learning zone”
• Involves tasks “just beyond” the child’s independent skill level
• Scaffolding fosters child’s success
![Page 16: The Art of Play Facilitation](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56812a8c550346895d8e33b2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

behavior and current level of functioning during play
• Provide just enough support (i.e., gestural, verbal, physical and/or environmental cues) to move the child to the next level of play
![Page 31: The Art of Play Facilitation](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56812a8c550346895d8e33b2/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Reinforcing
• Social reinforcers:– Smiles or winks– Pats on back– High fives– Verbal praise or comment
• Tangible reinforcers– Choice of play activity– Small token– Healthy snack
![Page 33: The Art of Play Facilitation](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56812a8c550346895d8e33b2/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Playful Obstruction
Involves following the child’s lead and then adding an obstacle
![Page 34: The Art of Play Facilitation](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56812a8c550346895d8e33b2/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Visible not Reachable
• During play, put a desired object out of reach
• See how the child problem-solves or seeks help
![Page 35: The Art of Play Facilitation](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56812a8c550346895d8e33b2/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Sabotaging Play/Need for Assistance
Materials or play tasks require assistance of an adult or a peer
![Page 36: The Art of Play Facilitation](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56812a8c550346895d8e33b2/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Change Expectations
• Omitting or changing a familiar step or element in a well-practiced or routine activity is a strategy known as change in expectations
![Page 37: The Art of Play Facilitation](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56812a8c550346895d8e33b2/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Delay/Pause for Request
• A pause or brief delay during an activity that encourages a response from the child
• Facilitates increased initiation of requests
![Page 38: The Art of Play Facilitation](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56812a8c550346895d8e33b2/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Forgetfulness
•Effective for determining what children know and can do
![Page 39: The Art of Play Facilitation](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56812a8c550346895d8e33b2/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Novelty
• New toys and materials get positive child reactions
• Note child reactions and language/communication responses
![Page 40: The Art of Play Facilitation](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56812a8c550346895d8e33b2/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Piece by Piece• Requires activities that
have several pieces • PF can use “rationing“ of
pieces to encourage requesting
• This activity works well with assembly tasks and snack items
• Have child request the next piece
![Page 41: The Art of Play Facilitation](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56812a8c550346895d8e33b2/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
