Gyeongnam Office of Education Distributes 3,200 Copies of Elementary Classroom Play Lesson Materials … "Kids Who Play Well Grow Up Fast"

Possible Even During COVID-19, Includes Non-Contact Games

This Year, the Play Culture Activation Support Team Will Be Expanded

Gyeongnam Office of Education distributed 3,200 copies of the booklet "Play Classes Easily Conducted in the Classroom" to elementary schools in the province.

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Seryeong] The Gyeongsangnam-do Office of Education has produced a play lesson material booklet titled "Play Lessons Easily Conducted in the Classroom" and distributed it to elementary schools across the province.

The Gyeongnam Office of Education distributed 3,200 copies of the play lesson booklet to each elementary school to help students, whose outdoor activities such as physical education classes were restricted due to the COVID-19 pandemic, develop balanced physical and mental growth.

The play lesson material collection was created based on its "usefulness" in encouraging students' willingness to participate in classes and increasing teachers' accessibility to play activities.

It linked nine cross-curricular learning themes with play, allowing them to be utilized throughout educational activities including subjects and creative experiential activities.

Materials needed for play activities were made in worksheet form, and presentation (PPT) play explanation materials were provided to reduce the burden of preparing related materials.

Contactless play activities that can be easily conducted during the COVID-19 situation were also added to promote a play culture in schools.

The Gyeongnam Office of Education has been promoting policies to revitalize children's play culture since the enactment of the "Ordinance on Guaranteeing Children's Right to Play."

They flexibly operated the curriculum to guarantee playtime, supported playground floor painting projects at 30 schools, developed and distributed play guidance materials linked to the curriculum, and operated a play culture revitalization support group.

This year, the play culture revitalization support group will be expanded to conduct training and guidance counseling for lessons, and play lesson guidance video materials will be produced to enhance accessibility and practicality in school settings.

Kim Seung-o, Director of Elementary Education, said, "As the saying goes, 'Those who play well grow well,' play is a great force in a child's growth. We will actively support school sites to provide time and space for children to play freely and to have diverse experiences."
