Schematic play involves repeated actions and behaviours as a child explores ideas that interest them. While these vary from child to child, they are biological and socio-cultural. To make the most of schematic play, you will need to equip children with the time and freedom to explore without interference.
In simple terms, schematic play is how a child explores certain ideas and learns about the world around them. It often seems repetitive, but to the child, it is a way to understand the ideas. There are a variety of schemas including:
As a parent or a teacher, children involved in schemas benefit from you most when you observe without interference, however, still provide support when required.
Children exploring schematic play need to be in a nurturing environment so they can develop the confidence to explore their thoughts and ideas. At this stage, children are involved in engaging play, and it is critical to invest in games that capture their attention.
You can help children at this stage by providing resources that support schematic play. At UniPlay, we specialise in installing thermoplastic playground markings such as mile tracks, mazes, throwing, and more that help children explore schematic play.
It is also important to ensure children at this stage have exciting play spaces which are inspiring and inventive. Our thermoplastic playground markings are available in vibrant colours, that not only capture attention, but also inspire children to spend more time on the playground and engage in creative group and independent play.
