Department of Education and Play board information

21st Apr 2020

Playboard have developed a new information sheet in cooperation with the Department of Education NI’s Play Matters project, to assist teachers, playworkers, parents and those offering care to children in these challenging times, to consider how they might provide quality play opportunities and experiences.

Children still want and need to play. Play and playing continues to be an essential aspect of children’s lives and provides valuable coping and learning opportunities. As children work through their emotions and feelings at this difficult time, play will help them deal with uncertainty, help them relax and importantly allow them to have fun.
