Play and Adolescence

Developing a Playful Pedagogical Approach for Teenagers' Holistic Learning, Growth, and Wellbeing

About this book

Play provides us with the autonomy to test out our ideas, experience appropriate risks, and build relationships. In Play and Adolescence, Fey Cole explores how those working with teenagers can meaningfully incorporate play into the learning environment, demonstrating its critical contribution to cognitive development, emotional resilience, and social connection in this pivotal life stage.

Drawing on interdisciplinary research and international practice, this accessible and insightful book examines play across diverse settings—from formal classrooms to community spaces and digital environments. Through real-life experiences and case studies from across the globe, readers discover how playful learning fosters teenagers' sense of belonging while enhancing critical thinking and creativity. The book addresses cultural, structural, and policy-related barriers to play while offering actionable strategies for implementation.

This resource will particularly benefit those working in education, youth services, and community development. It serves as both a resource tool and source of evidence-based effective practice for anyone committed to creating more dynamic, inclusive learning environments that prepare adolescents for future success through purposeful play.
