Swings Are Open!


The swings are open at the playground!


We are learning how to pump the swings ourselves.


We experiment with different ways to use the swings. 


Sometimes we get a push from a friend.



We are exploring the strength of our bodies. 


Rules:

  • The swings are open when there is a teacher there.
  • Wait on a bench to be called for your turn.
  • Walk along the orange edge to your swing.
  • When you are finished, run straight back to the main playground.

Learning rules for a new space helps children practice self-discipline and monitor their own actions with independence.  It gives them agency and builds confidence.  It also keeps them safe and makes the play more fun.
