Description

A day of hands-on, low-tech play for all ages, hosted by Gloucester Education Foundation and run by a powerhouse team of community and student volunteers! Power of Play centers around fun family activities and is designed to be welcoming to a broad spectrum of ages, ability levels, and learning styles. It would take us all day to name all of the awesome activities at Power of Play, but here are a few: collaborative art projects, life-sized Candy Land, fort-building, live music musical chairs, a mollusk tank, arctic exploration, capoeira, an invisible ink scavenger hunt, an infant/toddler wiggle zone, and LOTS more.
Why Play Matters:
● Play helps kids learn how to learn! Through play, kids hone their creative and critical thinking skills, figure out how to work together, and test their ideas.
● Play is something every child, everywhere in the world can do. It fuels curiosity, sparks creativity, and inspires a lifelong love of learning.
● Play is a universal language! Whether you speak English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Arabic, or use American Sign Language, play bridges communication gaps and gives us all a way to enjoy each other and work together.
