Greetings Sir @bossj23, such an interesting and intellectual post that you wrote. Through your post, I learned the importance of learning through play and you have explained it with some of your personal experience. Using the mat for teaching the numbers and the X and O game which really improves the confidence and also engaging processes of children. To avoid distraction how a teacher can balance play with learning you explained in detail and so well. This process not only the teacher but also parents can apply at home. The stand-and-sit game is a great play that can keep the children active as well as make the classroom active and lively. Through the play, you made the learning process of the children which is so much fun. These types of little fun and creative ideas can make the educational process memorable and also meaningful to the students by keeping them engaged. Thanks for sharing your thoughtful and essential educational learning process with some physical experiences with us.
