If you are working in an after school club, what works is to work within Playwork Principles and enabling children to have access to as many of the different play types as possible. Let children choose whatever they wish to play with and for their own reasons. Keep adult-led activities to a minimum.

As a playworker, you shouldn't be planning learning outcomes for the children's play at all. Rather, you should be supporting children to fully express their playfulness.
