My Play Resume
Friday September 27, 2024 3:15pm - 4:15pm EDT
Library A -25 Heritage Green Pl, Greenville, SC 29601

Today is September 27, 2024, and exactly 23,526 days have passed since the day I said hello to the world. I think you should calculate how many days old you are today too. Isn't it a fun game? In this talk, I want to share with you the games I played in the past and present, my memories of play, and, of course, my dreams for the future of play. I would like to introduce you to my playmates. Who are they, you ask? They are the family members I've shared my life with: my mother, my father, my four sisters, the more than five thousand children I've taught, and the parents and teacher colleagues who have attended my play conferences and workshops in 79 cities across Turkey. No matter where we live in the world, what language we speak, what we believe in, or what we love, we all have one common point amidst all these differences: play. We were all children once, and we all played. Play is not just for children; it has a healing power for all of us. Because I want everyone to feel good, I say let’s all play together. I’m coming to play. What I’ve tried to advocate for throughout my life is to encourage everyone to keep playing. We all have unforgettable play stories. As I share my own play stories in this talk, I dream of hearing yours too.
