This interactive session will inspire participants to embrace the role of the playful learner as we explore engagement via nontraditional manipulatives as a learning strategy. Using cost-effective materials, such as cardboard, tape, paper, etc., all not considered typical manipulatives of play, participants will brainstorm, build, and collaborate to solve a playful problem. This session is designed to be easily transferred and adapted for specific students, learning needs, and learning environments. It will include a brief introduction, play time, and group reflection, fostering a highly collaborative and reflective environment.
