Playworks

One of the things I want to do over the holiday is to go back and watch the links to recorded workshops I signed up for but wasn't able to attend in person. I love the offerings from Playworks.org. They have several online professional development opportunities each year (register here).

I so appreciate their work, educating and supporting public school teachers and sharing the value of PLAY at school.

Playworks Game Library - hundreds of game ideas for free
searchable by group size / ages / equipment needed / time

I just found out that the recordings are all available online for free as well!

If I had the time to complete another Waldorf teacher certification, it would definitely be training in Spacial Dynamics®. It would be so fun to be a Waldorf Games teacher. And I love that Waldorf calls it that instead of "P.E."!

Let the Games Begin!
