Welcome to the Playful Activity Library! We invite you to explore this curated collection of active, playful activities designed for use in adult education settings. This library supports our playful learning community by showcasing inspiring practices, sparking new ideas, and encouraging collaborative connections. We welcome all forms of playful approaches—whether it’s a quick icebreaker, a creative classroom activity, or a fully developed board game. Whatever your contribution, we’d love for you to share it with the community!
Playful learning in higher education often conjures images of lively student engagement, creative exploration, and boundless curiosity. Yet, what happens when these playful approaches go utterly wrong? In this interactive workshop – humorously titled Surprise and Disguise: Total Playful Failure in Higher Education – we will delve into precisely those moments when well-intentioned “play” in learning situations misfires. By exploring these failures and their underlying causes, participants will gain a deeper understanding of the intricate dynamics that shape playful learning environments and discover innovative ways to salvage and reinvent such methods when they falter.
