Ideas:



     I grew up in a world full of competition. My first sports were cheerleading and gymnastics. I feel like "play" in my life has always been described as competitive. In cheerleading we compete for our spots and titles. A lot of people describe play as something else, but this is how I visualize it because this is the only way I had fun as child; By competing and winning against other children. I told my friends making the letters that if they made the letters in a certain amount of time that they could get candy. The first two letters were made by not talking to each other and the last two they could convers with each other. It took a considerably longer time to create the first two, but because they are competitive, they worked hard to finish quickly to get the candy. Since the classroom is small, I am going to do this same task, but with beans. I will slip instructions and a questionnaire inside the bag with the beans. I am interested in learning if the competitive side of play is any different than just sitting and playing with play-do and how did the adrenalin feel?  How was working together and being able to talk to each other different than not talking? Were they more stressed than happy?

Research: I did not do any research for this project. This was all from my own memory and how I grew up. I also got a lot of my ideas from my teacher.
