Journal Article
Sparking Creativity with Cross-Area Play
2022
Overview
Specifically, cross-area play * helps children make unusual and unexpected connections, which can promote creativity * encourages development across multiple domains as children think, create, communicate, persist, problem solve, and collaborate * fosters confidence and helps children set and follow rules in their play with others * creates more fluid, engaging classroom spaces But when children engage in cross-area play, their play is not scripted. [...]for children interested in dinosaurs, transform a science center into an archaeological dig site and integrate sand from the sensory table and books from the literacy center. * Inspire new connections. The block area typically invites children to erect buildings, bridges, and roads. Because these centers direct children toward a specific type of play, they can limit the range of play scenarios and surprise discoveries.
