Thank you very much for your comment! Yes, play can help also adults learn in a more fun and engaged way. As teachers we can and should explore all the “channels” that help our brain “connect the dots” and enhance the learning. – I see that you are at a school? Are you using role play in your school too and if so, what kind of role plays do you use?

Thank you very much, Andy. Yes, I wrote this post a while ago, but it’s still valid. I do role plays for fun sometimes, without introducing it as an activity, just out of the blue. Being very spontaneous helps to communicate doubts, fears and frustrations without thinking abou them and for others to share them in a not-all-too-serious way. Especially with teenagers I think improvisation can be liberating as they often have to be very organised and schematic in their thoughts because of the requirements at school (tests, exams etc.), so spontaneous role plays can help decompress, get rid of some stress.

I’ve recently done a professional role play game with my son (this event in my town: http://www.mondialaentertainment.com/#!rollspelet-om-vastmark/cw254), and I have to say that it really opened my eyes to how expansive his imagination can be. Doing something like this with him was a great way to spend an afternoon together, and he’s been talking about it constantly since. I’m just hoping to find more activities like it, and would really encourage others to do the same!
