Guidance to Play

A New Resource for Play Associates

Play Associates are responsible for a number of elements on the playground, and are crucial to a successful Imagination Playground play space. Now, as an added resource, we have developed Guidance to Play, a publication that aims to provide Play Associates with even more ways to support child development through play. Written by George Forman, Guidance to Play covers 20 topics that help illustrate the significance in what children are doing as they play with Imagination Playground, as well as concrete actions Play Associates can take to facilitate positive behaviors.

George Forman is a co-founder of Videatives, Inc. and professor emeritus at the University of Massachusetts. Dr. Forman has over 33 years of experience in university teaching, cognitive research, multimedia design and educational consulting in the area of early childhood learning and development.
