Benefits of Playground Stencils
Physical Activity
As children spend more time indoors playing video games or taking virtual classes, outdoor playtime has reduced significantly. Now more than ever, it has become important for schools and parents to encourage physical activity and playground markings are one of the best ways to achieve that.
Marked areas for different kinds of sports such as football, tennis, basketball, hopscotch, and others allow kids to choose games they are most comfortable playing while also providing them with an opportunity to bond with other kids, enhance their collaboration skills, and boost teamwork.
Social Skills
There is no cookie-cutter method of using playground stencils. Instead, they stimulate kids’ imagination and encourage them to come up with new games or ways of communication. As they can be used in sports, board games, puzzles, and maps, playground stencils can be used to teach team building, respect, and empathy. On an individual level, every activity conducted using a stencil can be used by teachers and parents to nurture kids’ hand-eye coordination and motor skills, which are extremely important for their overall development.
Learning Resource
Children retain visual information better than written text and playgrounds serve as a effective way to take learning outside the classroom. Teachers can use playground stencils to supplement their lessons via structured numbers games, alphabets, maps, and other games. These stencils can also be used to offer lessons on topics such as road safety. Plus, Stencils are long-lasting, allowing future students to benefit from them.
