Lena is a passionate teacher. She shows us how she incorporates games into children's everyday learning. She shows us her play corner at primary school and explains why play should not be neglected at school.

Play corner in primary school: playing is also part of the lesson

"Can we play something?" Which primary school teacher hasn't heard this question? In some classes it is asked almost daily, while other classes seem to have resigned themselves to the fact that there is no playing at school. After all, it's all about learning to read, write and do maths. Is there still time to play? Of course there is!

Play is not a game, it is serious and deeply meaningful. (Friedrich Fröbel)

In any case, there is space and time for play in my classroom. And no, I'm not talking about educational games. Educational games are an excellent way to repeat acquired knowledge in a playful way. However, they are pedagogised and the actual purpose of playing is instrumentalised. Play corners in primary schools do not always have to have a measurable learning objective. Why do we actually play? Playing is fun! And games that are simply fun should have a permanent place in everyday school life.

Playing makes school

When we play in the classroom, we learn - but not vocabulary or arithmetic! We learn without realising it, because the focus is on play. And what we learn is not exactly little. Playing promotes personal and social skills. Children learn to stick to existing rules or invent new rules together. All this happens all by itself in the play corner at primary school.

Those who play, learn! Those who learn, live! If you live, you play! (Jörg Roggensack)

Even losing has to be learnt: children at primary school often find it difficult to lose. But they also have to learn to deal with this. The children must be able to recognise and accept losses. And the winners? Children often celebrate their victory exuberantly and hurt the feelings of their team-mates in the process. Who hasn't said "Ätsch-Bätsch" before? To ensure that both losers and winners want to play together again, it is important to play in a socially acceptable and fair way. Because fairness is very important in the play corner at primary school. Of course, the teacher also has a role to play here: we have to support and encourage the pupils. The loser is more important than the winner. Teachers should be role models and make pupils aware that a fun game in the classroom can also be a win.

Play corner in the primary school promotes different skills

The children can play numerous games in the school playground during the big break. But you should also offer indoor games in the classroom. The various play tables from Limmaland can be used to promote a wide range of skills. I would like to give you a brief overview of these:

Stamina
Concentration
Losing/winning
Frustration tolerance
Tactical play
Logical thinking

Play corner in primary school strengthens the sense of togetherness

What children learn while playing is not always immediately visible. In any case, play corners in primary schools promote class cohesion and a sense of togetherness. This applies not only to school children, but also to play corners in kindergarten. Playing together brings children closer together, especially when they play in teams. Why shouldn't two children act as counsellors when playing mill? This will also allow you to accommodate several children at the game tables. Dare to integrate games into the school day and be sure that your pupils will learn a lot in the process. Without realising it, of course.
