What a whirlwind at #ukge2026 for play-group.org and games in education. Reflections and comments to come after a short regen phase…

Hah! This cutie managed to do a failed backflip trying to catch the frisbee this morning. Good illustration of learning from failure - she immediately did it again 😝

Sunday’s crowning glory - tiny trifles. Play and creativity can be applied to ‘how can I use these squashed raspberries?’ too! I used to love ready steady cook 😝

You know what I love about games? #Fairness. It’s so British to take turns, like queuing. With kids you have to be caring to start with though, and spend time supporting their capabilities to enable them to play fairly as grown ups! #bluey

Home from a fun #playlearn25 with masks, crime scenes, recipes, magic and improv. Most crucially so many opportunities to connect with other playful learning people! Whimsical, intellectual or light-hearted, it’s all an aid to stimulating ideas 😊

I have always loved making things to quiet the mind. This holiday I have been needle felting this lovely chap from Yorkshire. Almost done! #craft #felt #christmas www.featherfelts.co.uk

I realise it’s late, but I have come around to classic feminism in de Beauvoir and have a new appreciation for her arguments about work and autonomy. Today this relies as much on good management in organisations as political policy. #choice #dignity #work
