Description
This session will be delivered by Emma Gillaspy from Lancashire University. Welcome, intrepid voyagers! Pack your curiosity and join us on a journey to a newly discovered Playful Activities Library - a hidden gem now nestled within the Playful Learning Association website. Playful learning approaches boost spirits, reduce the fear of failure, and enhance critical thinking and creativity - essential souvenirs for future graduates. Our new library is built on key elements of the Playful Learning Tour Guide (Gillaspy & Thompson 2024a; 2024b; 2024c), and you can search for activities using game mechanics families and heutagogy learner behaviours, decoding your own secret map to crafting engaging learning experiences through play. Join us in this session to explore the new library, contribute your own activities, and uncover secrets to designing more playful learning experiences. Prepare to be surprised and delighted as we navigate the world of playful learning together!
