What role does play have in Molly Lynch’s teaching strategies?

Play is a fundamental part of my teaching strategies. I believe that when learning feels like play, kids are more engaged and willing to do the work. This is why I incorporate math games into my daily classroom routine. I've found that these games are an effective way for students to make sense of new ideas, take risks, and stay engaged. I even offer a free training called "Math Games Made Easy" to help other teachers understand the importance of play in learning and how to make it a part of their daily routine. So, in my classroom, play isn't just for recess, it's a key part of the learning process. Would you like to know more about how I incorporate games into my teaching?
