Student-led play is an approach to learning that allows students to take control of their own group play experiences. In this approach, students are encouraged to design their own play activities, select their own materials, and make their own decisions about how to play.

This approach has many benefits for students. For one, it helps to build confidence and independence, as students learn to trust their own abilities, decision-making, and leadership skills. It also encourages creativity, and problem-solving, as students are challenged to come up with new and innovative ways to play.

Furthermore, student-led play helps to promote social and emotional development, as students learn to collaborate and communicate with their peers. It provides opportunities for leadership and It also helps to foster a sense of community within the classroom, as students work together to create a fun and engaging learning environment.

In order to implement student-led play, Wilderland will provide students with a variety of materials and resources to choose from. We will follow the guidelines and recommendations from Let Grow. See below for resources:
