What is the immediate picture that comes to mind when we think of a playground, Most certainly an environment that is care-free, high-spirited and bursting forth with life. Play is often dismissed as an optional activity - an 'extra' - but nothing could be further from the truth. A playground, in reality, is but nature's colourful classroom that proffers monumental learning occasions to children of all ages. When questioned why they enjoy running, jumping, swinging, and sliding, kids often reply with, "because it's fun", but the benefits of play go beyond just making the heart merry. Let's look at some of them

• Play allows kids to stay physically fit and healthy. While playing, kids not only develop reflexes, movement controls, and motor skills but also build stronger muscles and bone density, and improved heart and lung function
• Besides the palpable physical benefits, play also has three major internal benefits - building the child's self-confidence, allowing them to experiment with different emotions, and purging of traumatic emotions
• Through play, children develop various cognitive skills like language, reasoning, decision-making and problem-solving
• Finally, spending most of their breaks and recess time in the playground with fellow schoolmates inculcates important values in children - inclusion, companionship, and teamwork In a nutshell, play allows kids to 'put their learning into practice.'
