Supporting Risky Outdoor Play during COVID-19 Research is clear on the importance of regular and repeated access to outdoor risky play. During the COVID-19 outbreak, the importance of supporting children’s play outdoors is even more urgent as a means of infection control. This session will help you build the case about the need for outdoor risky play as well as get practical ideas to make positive change in your work with children. Myths will be dispelled, truths revealed, and incredible opportunities for children to have new experiences introduced. Learn the key concepts that support outdoor play and how you can begin to incorporate these into your programs and plans. Lastly, hear about tools and educational resources to help you on your journey.
