It does not have to focus on a single act; rather, it is more interesting when it is the result of the convergence of different tools that we will apply depending on the activities that we schedule.

Transforming playtime takes time, it takes resources and leadership and you will make mistakes. As will the children. However, every school we work with expresses the successes and impact on children as the worthwhile goal of better break and playtimes. Happier and healthier pupils, less stress on supervisors and fewer incidents for senior managers to deal with are all successful outcomes of play in school grounds. Learning landscapes are, as we shall see, a cross between these two pedagogical models, although they also apply different active methodologies such as visual thinking, cooperative learning or design thinking and can be combined with methodologies such as gamification, cooperative learning, flipped classrooms or project-based learning.
