Intrapersonal
IntrapersonalBenefits
Play that is independent, fostering inner reflection and awareness of feelings. While play sometimes involves many children, independent play is an important aspect of healthy childhood development. When playing alone, children begin to recognize their own emotions, feelings, and thoughts, as well as how to control them. This benefit of play allows children to take charge of their activities and explore their environment at their own level and speed. Intrapersonal play improves children's self-motivation and self-esteem, as they engage their imaginations and take the initiative to create their own forms of fun and learning. Alone play gives children the opportunity to create their own environment, allowing for pretend play that utilizes their imaginations to the fullest. These children may appear shy, but when playing alone, their possibilities are endless!

Verbal
VerbalBenefits
Play based on reading, writing, but NOT arithmetic! Linguistic play is perfect for children who love language - written and oral. They learn best through books, crosswords, and listening to recordings. Play can include anything that focuses on written words, like word board games; or oral words, like story telling sessions or books on tape. Linguistic play will improve listening skills, allow for word creation and association, and benefit overall language skills. So, keep their lips loving to learn language!
-
Musical
MusicalBenefits
Play based on a world of rhythm and melodies. Every motion, every manner of play, has its own music. Children with strong musical interests pick up on the sounds others do not, and they learn best by expanding their environment with music and dancing. Enhancing a child's play with music not only enriches the educational experience, but also improves listening skills and creates a new level of interaction with the surrounding world. Music is an essential aspect of childhood development — make sure your child never misses a beat!

Creative
Creative Play
Play that ignites a child's imagination and makes something out of nothing! A box of crayons, construction paper, pipe cleaners, scissors and glue – they are all staples in the home, but when they come together in the hands of a child, they become magical works of art. But, Creative Play extends beyond art, entering a world of music, dance, building — even dirt! Creative play includes such things as: * Painting * Sculpting play dough * Building or creating crafts Providing a child a creative outlet will lead to many amazing things, and as you may know already, some not so amazing things if it involves drawing on furniture or a wall!

Quiet
Quiet Play
Play that keeps children's mouths shut but their minds open. Playtime for children should have the opportunity to be quiet — the playtime for which adults are sometimes grateful! Children need quiet time to intently digest the items in their learning environment, like books and puzzles. Quiet play provides children an opportunity to think and reason and can include such activities as: * Beading a necklace * Working on puzzles * Reading or looking at pictures By providing a silent environment, children can focus on their toys and playthings and really get down to the work of being a child. After all, play is the work of children!
-
Dramatic
Dramatic Play
Play that involves pretend and make believe, or whatever the imagination dreams. Have you ever found a child in your clothes? Carrying your briefcase? Wearing your old uniform? What seems commonplace to you opens a whole new world of possibilities to a child. Dramatic play can include: * Simple role playing * Using props to create a "new" environment * Creating scenes or situations with dolls and puppets Children love role-playing and exploring worlds outside of their everyday, creating new and fun situations with every costume and prop. Imagine what they think you do at work!
