Schemas are patterns of repeated behaviour that children use to explore and make sense of the world around them. Recognising these behaviours helps adults understand how children learn—and how to support that learning through meaningful play.
This vibrant resource takes a closer look at 8 key play schemas, offering insights into:
- What each schema is
- How it might appear in a child’s play
- Ways to support and extend the schema
- Vocabulary to introduce and reinforce during play
- Story suggestions to deepen engagement
