Can I play? Children’s participation strategies in early childhood settings

Authors
Abstract

A real challenge children face is how to successfully enter collaborative play that is already in progress. Some children achieve this with little trouble, while others struggle to be included. Through case studies of four children, this study explores the nature of participation strategies, and offers strategies for teachers to develop the play-joining abilities of less socially literate children.
