It is essential that both work and education

should be fun. Otherwise people cannot be

expected to learn or work effectively.

When you dont enjoy what youre doing, you cant wait to finish it and as it follows at a current point stop thinking
too much of what it will happen with it. And when that matter is not an only case but a process or something you are
expected to do periodically- like job or studies, it is even more likely that you push or neglect your work, counting
the minutes until it is finally done. And even if you are conscientious and careful, there is still a huge difference
between a creation in which you have put your heart and soul and one you were forced to make.
Education puts the grounds of your future life. It helps you gain skills that you will use not only in your profession
but in you daily routine. If you swot information in order to get a grave, youll probably forget all about in soon
after. On the other side, when you get intrigued by a current matter, the whole view changes. You wont need to be
reminded to do your studies, nor count minutes anymore. When you really enjoy what youre doing, it is visible and
obvious. The improvement comes itself and not only for the sake of a future benefit, but for the knowledge itself.
Furthermore, as school is only a stage, youre work might persist. It takes the half of your active time and if you
dont enjoy it, you wont be of full value not only in it but in your leisure time along with that. When you come to
the point in which you get bored it is really hard to concentrate no matter how hard you want to complete your tasks.
To have fun at your working place doesnt mean you are not taking it as seriously as you should, but that you are
actually enthusiastic about it. You cant create anything positive if you are not positive yourself.

Make Learning Fun: The Play-Way Method of Education
written by: Mandy Robinson edited by: Trent Lorcher updated: 1/5/2012
Play way in education aims to introduce the spirit of play in all educational institutions. The methods and techniques used for
imparting education must be able to create an environment in which the child can learn his lesson or acquire the desired
knowledge.
The Importance of Play in Education
We know the spirit of childhood is play and thus play-way in education insists on child centered education. It advocates
educating children through activities in which children can put their heart and soul and work in an atmosphere of freedom and
spontaneity.
The modern methods of teaching like kindergarten method, Montessori Method, Dalton plan, Heuristic method, Project method
and our craft-centered basic education are all attempts to imbibe play spirit in education.
Education should be fun and not forced. Any activity done in a spirit of fun is not work at all; on the other hand, activities in
which the spirit of play is forced or absent should be considered work.
Games as Learning
Activities undertaken in school in the form of hobbies, dramatization, scouting, girl guides, self government, excursion and other
curricular activities, teach the important concept that for education to be most effective, education should be fun and not forced.
Educational games serve a good purpose in this direction.
For example, stage play can be used for history and mother tongue. Mathematical games can be used to learn or practice various
mathematical facts. We can arrange competition between groups in the class or between different classes in the school and thus
make the children interested in knowing so many things of general interest or related with some specific subjects.
In this way play can be used as an effective medium or platform for imparting valuable education to our youngsters. Not only
does it pave the way for imparting effective and enduring education; it helps in realizing the broader aims of education. It helps
bring the harmonious development of the personality of children by taking care of their physical, mental, emotional, social and
moral development. It also provides opportunities for the modification of their behavior and prepares them for getting adjusted to
their environment and life. Thus play and the play way can be regarded as an effective means of educating children.
