Today, my class participated in Global School Play Day!
I was heavily influenced to participate in #GSPD after listening to this eye-opening presentation:The Decline of Play TED Talk from the psychologist Peter Gray.

On Monday, I emailed parents, shared "The Decline of Play" video, and asked for games to be brought in for our #GSPD event. On Wednesday, we played!
First, we talked about the rules.
There would only be ☝, the Golden Rule.
There were so many fun group games!
Twister!
