Gloucester Education Foundation hosts the annual Power of Play Festival in Gloucester Massachusetts. A day of hands-on, low-tech play for all ages, hosted by Gloucester Education Foundation and run by a powerhouse team of community and student volunteers.
Power of Play centers around interactive family activities and is designed to be welcoming to a broad spectrum of ages, ability levels, and learning styles. It would take us all day to name all of the awesome activities at Power of Play, but here are a few: live band freeze dance, martial arts, a community fish mural, make-your-own sensory jars, giant box fort-building, touch and feel tables, an infant/toddler wiggle zone, and new this year: science activities all about the human body!
Why Play Matters:
- Play helps kids learn how to learn! Through play, kids hone their creative and critical thinking skills, figure out how to work together, and test their ideas.
- Play is something every child, everywhere in the world can do. It fuels curiosity, sparks creativity, and inspires a lifelong love of learning.
- Play is a universal language! Whether you speak English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Arabic, or use American Sign Language, play bridges
