We'd research and identify the most popular game played by the children of that location' and if possible, include it in our play activities for the week. At week's end the students would make a group poster comprised of words describing what they learned,felt and/or experienced as related to the game of the week (Of course in colors of their choosing). Goals: Awareness of Different Cultures/People, Identifying Similarities and Differences in Play, Socialization and Relationship Building and Self Awareness.]]> 2020-08-25 06:43:53 UTC https://padlet.com/swilkes6/9gbdliu068dubegq/wish/696645949
