#i hate that we dont incorporate more unstructured play in kindergarten

[technically-a-principality]

I just want to make an observation that I have as a kindergarten teacher.

I do tutoring for some kinder kids after school in my classroom and because that's a long day for them (they have an hour of club before that) I typically let them pick anything they want to do in my class.

90% of the time to pick to play pretend in my kitchen. The other 10% they will pick maybe the iPad, the Chromebook, or maybe blocks.

I will say the option of just watching YouTube videos and T.V. is taken away from them so who knows what they would pick if that was an option, but seeing kids play makes me so happy. I wish they could play more in school.
