It is the open space in the school that gives the children to play and hone up their skills of understanding the lessons. Researchers have proved that children who can play can pay more attention to their studies and have proper mental and physical growth. Since the school is a place where any kid spends most of their times apart from home, it is necessary to have school playgrounds inside the educational institutions. It helps the children to stay motivated and relaxed, releasing the educational stresses every student have these days.
Planning a small playground for children:
It is due to the toughness in the competition and to be good in studies demanded by the parents as well as by the schools. You can plan a small playground with fresh original grass, or with artificial green or greenish-yellow turf so that you can add a touch of glamour to your already-existing playground design.
Planning For The Grounds
If the school premises have lots of vacant space, the authorities can think about the basketball courts, soccer grounds, athletics tracks and many more. However, these games are for the students who study in the upper classes. For the toddlers and junior level students’ specific school playgrounds need to be built with proper plans, even there is not much vacant land inside the school area. Let us look at some of the items that can be interesting to the students of the lower class, particularly the kindergarten and nursery students.
- Four Square - It is one of the popular items that can be added to the school playgrounds that are not that big. It is marking on the ground and can be played by as a many as four players, and the target is to get the ball bounce only once in each square before it is passed to another member of the game standing in another square.
- Markings With The World Maps - It is another good idea to teach the students about the world. Children love to mark different countries and places on the world map. The world map is painted on the school playgrounds, and the students ask each other to identify some areas they have thought in their mind and passing clues when asked. It is an only one-time investment to paint the map on the floor of the playground and some little maintenance in the long run. Depending on the assignment to be given to the students, you can go for playing the world map, especially in the geography classes. It will be good, if you have a fully round playground. It will be easier to teach them about shapes this way.
- Hopscotch - It is one of the most favorite games for young students in the school. Many students can play the game at a time, and it increases the body balance, and the concentration of the students as the mind focuses on not falling or putting both feet down. You can also have swings, rotating seats, see-saws in the playgrounds where children can enjoy after class. After all, the entire playground should attract their attention.
- The Slides And The Rockers - If the school playgrounds are little big, adding some slides or the rockers and the trampoline is best that the students can enjoy and have lots of physical activities. The kids love these items, and they won’t miss a chance to enjoy them
It is essential to decorate the school playgrounds with things through which children can learn as well as learn. They also need to enjoy their free time inside the school premises and have physical exercises to relax their mind and be happy.
