Play gives children a chance to practice what they are learning
Fred Rogers
Children need the freedom and time to play. Play is not a luxury. Play is a necessity
Kay Redfield Jamison
As a child my biggest support system were our neighbors. Everyone looked out for all the children in the neighborhood.
Play today is so different from the play of my childhood. There were no electronic games to play, no cell phones, no cable, no computers. Just good wholesome fun played by all the children in the neighborhood.
Hop Scotch, Double Dutch, Jacks, Sticks, Relay Racing, and plenty of fresh outdoor air.
As I look back on play throughout my life I have never forgot how to jump double dutch. It amazes me that many of our youth of today do not know how to jump rope and have no interest in learning.
