Taylor Halverson: Rules for Learning

Keywords

childhood exploration, experiential learning, creative play

Abstract

Recently I was dropping my daughter off at the Brigham Young University preschool. Quite prominently displayed near the door was a set of rules for children and adults. I was struck by how many rules there were for children and how sparse the rules were for adults.

I’ll begin with the rules for children: run, jump, dig, explore, talk, build, pour, yell, saw, hammer, paint, tear down, ride, imagine, sing, wonder, measure, ponder, play, be alone, examine, experiment, work, express emotion, lead, spin, follow, watch, hear, be excited, smell, taste, mix, daydream, create.

Sounds fun, doesn’t it?
