More play time makes children smarter. That’s what a project by Sesame Workshop and Lego Foundation called Play Every Day, implemented in low-resource communities in India, Mexico and South Africa, indicates. When parents and teachers helped children between three and six years old to play, the children not only had fun, they became more creative.
To disseminate their findings, Sesame Workshop India and the Lego Foundation hosted a Play Conference in Delhi recently. NGOs, corporates, foundations, academics and government representatives shared ideas on play-friendly programmes and the challenges they confront in getting children to play more. . .
