Number of Participants (including subject): Play of choice (Play house and blocks), 4 Participants (Christine Included)
Duration of Activity: Start: 9:15am End: 10:10amA thorough description of the play dynamics:
As Christine is playing with 3 girls she seems to be enjoying that free time very well. Christine is using her gross motor skills to build blocks and seems to be building perfectly except for one thing, she is building them to high and does not seem to understand why they fall and she gets frustrated. As she gets frustrated she realizes that it is not worth being mad and she builds them back in an instant. Her peers are complaining about her because she lies to get what she wants and she is constantly taking things without asking from her friends. Even though Christine is aware of the rules she is constantly breaking them and playing unfair. Another peer went with her and started playing unfair as well and Christine disliked that her friend was playing that way
She did get frustrated when the blocks fell but got over it quickly. When one of her peers went in between the game and practically ruined her game she was upset, and did not realize that she did the same thing when she did not let other children play with the toys. She does share toys but only if they remind her to share. Christine seems to play rough because she takes things without asking and bothers the other children. The adults at the center seem to be clear on the rules and remind them to share, or how many children can play in one section, remind them to clean up their belongings, and no other types of inappropriate play such as running, yelling across the classroom, and play
