- 1. • Aims for talk: • To show the importance of play on children's health. • Show how children feel towards outdoor play. • Explain why we should change our ways and go outdoors more.
- 3. • Try not to let bad weather put you off: play doesn’t have to be spoiled by a bit of rain. In fact, kids are usually less worried by a little cold and rain than their parents, especially if they’re running around and keeping warm! • If it’s wet and muddy outside, why not dress them in old clothes and wellies and let them splash around, rather than being couped up indoors?

Outdoor play enables the infectious agents to spread out and be dissipated; it also enables children to get fresh air and exercise and be less constrained than they are in the classroom’ (Aronson, 2002).
