The workshops provided the participants with the opportunity to work in groups, share their experiences, and learn from one another. All of the activities throughout the day were designed with the five principles in mind (a Caring Adult, Friends, Play, Mastery, and Participation). The discussions during the day informed the participants about incorporating the 3 design guidelines into the activities, how to welcome diversity, be age appropriate; and provide a safe environment (emotional and social).

we held a
Play leadership Workshop
in Outlook the day after the High Five. 9 participants joined us that day from the communities of Delisle, Coteau Beach, Outlook and Caronport.
Play Leadership Training ensures that Play Leaders have the knowledge and skills necessary to plan and coordinate safe, accessible and enjoyable play opportunities for children. The training consists of 5 modules, each dealing with a core competency for the Play Leader: 1. Working with your Community 2. Engaging all Children 3. Playing with Children 4. Planning for Play 5. Developing your Skills
Play Leadership is a supplementary course to PHCD, all participants need to have completed High Five ® PHCD to participate in Play Leadership.
Thank you to both the City of Warman Recreation Department and Outlook Recreation for all their help to get the workshops going.
