"I got you, Freeze," screams Joseph. He runs with all his might to the other side to tag some other students, and all the kids scream run, run! This is just one example of rough-and-tumble play. Rough and Tumble play is outstanding because it fosters creativity and allows children to become divergent thinkers. Children have enormous amounts of energy, and this type of energy allows them to demonstrate verbal and non-verbal communication. Children learn how to problem solve and work with each other for a common goal. Rough and tumble play is a great benefit and should be continued throughout the early learning system. Rough and tumble play allows physical development, social emotional development and cognitive growth.
