"Hopscotch"

Molly:Can we play hopscotch, Mrs. V.?
Teacher:Of course, we can. What do we have to do so we can play hopscotch?
Molly:We need to draw it on the ground.
Teacher:But what should we use to draw it on the ground?
Molly:We need paint. I like pink!
Teacher:That's a good idea. But we will not be able to erase it easily if we use paint. Can you think of anything else we can use instead of paint?
Molly:Oh, I know! We can use water and paint brush.
Teacher:Very creative, Molly! We can also do that. I will just find a big paintbrush that we can use and I will fill this bucket up with water."
Molly:Thank you, Mrs. V.
...The teacher quickly went inside the room to get a paintbrush and a bucket of water. When she went back outside, she found Molly drawing on the ground using a piece of chalk.
Molly:Mrs. V., I found this chalk. Can you please help me draw the hopscotch?
Teacher:Of course. So, we won't be using this water and paintbrush, then?
Molly:I will use it later and paint water over the lines after I finish playing hopscotch.

Children are impressive problem solvers. What parents and teachers can do to support their learning is encourage them to use their creative and critical thinking skills by asking them questions so that they can come up with the solutions themselves. This way, they are also empowered when they can make their own choices in their play experience and well as being able to learn to think inventively.
