On June 11th, Papagoya Micro-School commemorated the International Day of Play in a unique and inspiring manner. The children gathered together to explore the world of play through a series of thought-provoking questions and artistic expressions. As they sat down to paint a mural, their creativity and individuality shone brightly through their interpretations of play. The event began with the children reflecting on the emotions evoked by play, contemplating how it makes them feel alive, joyous, and free. Imaginations ran wild as they put themselves in the shoes of being the "minister of play" and envisioned ways to enhance and promote playfulness in their surroundings. Prompted to consider changes they would wish to see in the realm of play at school or home, the children's drawings spoke volumes about their desires for more freedom, creativity, and inclusivity in their play experiences. Each child then captured a word that described themselves in moments of play, revealing insights into their individual personalities and passions.
