Animated Short Shares the Power of Play

  1. Updates

Playworks Northern California and BRIDGEGOOD come together to create an animated short highlighting the power of play!

The video brings to life a story from the field of a student at a Playworks school in the East Bay area through brilliantly animated characters. The voice over features none other than a Playworks Junior Coach! We are grateful to BRIDGEGOOD, a member of RealTime Oakland,  for donating their time and skill.

Ever wonder about the connection between play and social emotional development? Watch and learn!
