Connections to Other Resources
This zine is the primary text in the inclusive play project. Kids learn about loneliness and how play can help combat loneliness. Kids then learn about the science of play including concepts like force and motion, pushes and pull, stop and start, speed and direction. Kids explore how games and play can use different forces of motion. They also learn about how inventors use creativity and the science of play to create games that we can play with others. Students take action by using creativity and the science of play to create a fun marble maze game and practice inclusivity by inviting a new friend to play.
