This method involves using play activities, such as games, imagination-based play, and hands-on experiences, to engage children in learning new concepts and skills. Play-based learning is believed to enhance children's creativity, problem-solving abilities, social skills, and overall academic performance. Research in this area focuses on understanding the benefits and effectiveness of play-based learning in early childhood education and identifying best practices for incorporating play into the curriculum.
