Ramshackle Play Training
“We are seeing a decrease in children’s readiness for school and academic learning. Which is increasingly affected by social and emotional development. This lack of readiness negatively affects ability to perform.”
(Webster – Stratton, C., & Reid, M. J. 2004)
Ramshackle (adjective Ä ram·shack·le Ä ram-sha-kəl Ä) “poorly constructed or in a state of near collapse”.
Ramshackle Play training guides participants’ skills and knowledge in the scientific and experiential benefits of unstructured play on learning, coping and thriving in education, recreation, and health care. We provide you with the tools to effectively balance success and challenge with risk vs. hazard in developing physical, social, and intellectual resilience, readiness and adaptability.
Risk and play are the avenue to multigenerational physical health, cognitive flexibility, memory, attention, social connection, and belonging. We introduce you to play with materials that are seemingly no longer useful and together we re-invent their purpose, exposing you to the benefits of risky play.
Our Ramshackle Play training is broken into 3 levels:
-
