Benefits Of Creative Group Play

Creative group play has a lot of benefits over organized activites, due to children developing important skills for when they grow older. According to, " Experts in child development" children should have time for creative play to become good independent thinkers. Children also need to develop good critical thinking skills, which creative play can help to create. I also agree that creative play helps form multiple other different skill sets that you will use in your adult life, such as problem solving and social skills. Group play is also essential to learning "executive functioning skills", that organzied activites don't help with due to being to reliant on schedules, and heavy adult influence.

Organized activities don't develope as many
skill sets due to being in a controlled enviroment, but they do help create a "healthy attitude towards themselves" according to adolescent health expert Janet Collins. Collins also believes that organized activites help with is "becoming a responsible adult". A lot of things organized activites develop can also be developed while you get older which means to me creative play is healthier then organized.
