Creative Play

Improved Essays
Creative play is the time in which you find how to entertain yourself. On the other hand, organized activities hinder a childs creativity, they may not get some skills they would learn from creative play and they get to pick what they want to do. In my opinion, I think creative play is more important. First, organized activities causes a child to not be able to use there imagination. Since these activities usually call for adult supervision, kids are not able to do as much as they like because they are told what to do. Also, adults give them easy answers. Children need to be able to problem solve on there own. In the passage " Helping children play creatively" paragraph two it states, " Organized activities on the other hand ,rely on rules,

    Winniscot’s book, Playing and Reality, focuses on the nature of learning through playing and how mentally vulnerable people are when they’re young.
