Extended Deadline for "Play Makes School" Competition in Saxony
Deadline Extension for Free Game Competition - More Time to Win Games Gratis - Prolonged Competition Offer for Gratis Games
Get ready, Saxony primary schools! The deadline for entering the "Play Makes School" competition, where you can win free games and toys for your students, has been extended to June 23. This thrilling opportunity, announced by the Ministry of Education, invites schools to submit a plan for a game room. Parents' associations and support groups can collaborate with teachers to put forward their ideas for consideration.
The aim of this competition is to foster learning success among children by leading them to learning through play and making the learning process smoother for them. Creative and innovative concepts that contribute to school development and can be easily implemented in daily school life are considered significant decision criteria.
Over the past 15 years, an impressive 297 schools in Saxony have already won educational games and toys, with a total of 3,415 primary schools nationwide participating. The "Play Makes School" initiative was launched in 2007 by the association "More Time for Children" alongside the ZNL Transfer Center for Neuroscience and Learning.
In essence, play-based learning harnesses the powerful role of play in children's cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development. By fostering curiosity, creativity, and problem-solving skills, it enhances learning experiences, encourages social and emotional skill development, boosts cognitive development, and augments physical development. Schools often incorporate games, simulations, and hands-on projects into their curricula to mix enjoyment with specific learning objectives, making learning an engaging and interactive experience.
So, if you're looking to get creative, smarter, and even stand a chance to win some cool games and toys for your students – this is the competition for you! Just make sure your application is in before June 23!
In light of the extended deadline for the "Play Makes School" competition in Saxony, schools would benefit from collaborating on a plan for a game room that focuses on education-and-self-development through play, as this approach not only enhances learning experiences but also fosters cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development. To increase their chances of winning, schools may consider participating in vocational training programs to create innovative and easily implementable concepts for their game room, in accordance with the community policy set by the Ministry of Education.
