According to the Surplus-Energy Theory, children need to "let off steam." Running around, playing games and developing children's motor skills is extremely important in outdoor play.]]> 2019-03-26 15:33:58 UTC https://padlet.com/juliawesley13/w5y2kr1vqro7/wish/345319104 ashrusso10 https://padlet.com/juliawesley13/w5y2kr1vqro7/wish/345321945 Children need room to jump, run, climb, swing, yell as loud as possible, and get to explore. Outside play allows children to do this explore their creativity and get the energy out that they cannot get out in the classroom, or maybe even at home.]]> 2019-03-26 15:38:51 UTC https://padlet.com/juliawesley13/w5y2kr1vqro7/wish/345321945 equestriangirl1997 https://padlet.com/juliawesley13/w5y2kr1vqro7/wish/345322705 constructive play-  sand and water play, providing a place for art, woodwork and blocks, wheeled toys, and lots of loose objects throughout the playground. 
social play-  opportunities outside to develop basic social skills and social competencies: pushing each other on the swing, pulling a wagon carrying another child, playing together in the sand 
sociodramatic play-  playhouses, forts, and other structures that children can change, adapt, reconfigure, impose their own meaning on, and use to expand their imagination 
games with rules- highest level of cognitive play

In the outside playground children can learn math, science, ecology, gardening, ornithology, construction, farming, vocabulary, the seasons, the various times of the day, and all about the local weather. Playing outdoors is more effective for learning because it was concrete and they had fun while doing it, so they can connect to the information more easily.]]> 2019-03-26 15:42:10 UTC https://padlet.com/juliawesley13/w5y2kr1vqro7/wish/345323943
