HAGS Play Circle

HAGS Play Circle will show you which type of knowledge can be obtained in the different areas of play, and the impact it has on the child’s development. When we design and manufacture our products we take into consideration all the different parts of the Play Circle. And when you are about to choose your play equipment you can see both technical functions of the product and the benefits for the child playing with it.

HAGS Playcircle - Child centred

	I - Personal Skills
	A sense of identity develops through play, both alone and with others, shaping the personality. The child develops and learns to cope with different situations, by observing how others behave in the playground and by dreaming, planning and thinking.
	WE - Social Skills
	When children play together they develop their social skills. When they meet other children in the playground role play and cooperation take place almost automatically. The child learns to differentiate moods and feelings in other people as part of a game, to cooperate and to take social responsibility.
	NUMBERS - Mathematical Skills
	When a child learns to climb, for example, she develops physical and mental coordination and strength. She learns to count too. One step, two steps, three steps to the top, and so on. Play also forms the basis of learning to solve concrete, practical and abstract mathematical problems.
	SPACE - Visual Skills
	The child develops spatial awareness through play and physical activity by visualising and imagining things. Movement created by play teaches the child to see perspectives and the relationships between different sizes – big and small, near and far and high and low.
	NATURE - Nature Skills
	When playing outdoors the child learns to see and understand the forces of nature and how they affect people. All children are curious about nature and feel comfortable outdoors. They also learn to observe phenomena and discover new things – to see how the weather and seasons change, how plants and animals grow and how the sky and earth change colour.
	LIFE - Existential Skills
	Play helps the child to understand that all people are individuals with the right to freedom and choice. Role play also develops the child’s knowledge of life and social expectations and roles, relationships with other people and his surroundings.
	SENSES - Intuitive Skills
	Play helps the child develop the ability to think freely, using imaginative pictures, situations and stories. By playing alone and with others, in an apparently made-up situation, the child learns to trust herself, to think differently and act accordingly.
	MUSIC - Musical Skills
	When children play together there is often music, in the shape of songs and rhythms, in their games. Some games require a sense of rhythm in order to play them. Children who train their ability to keep time, melody and rhythm also find it easier to learn linguistic, grammatical and mathematical phenomena later in life.
	BODY - Physical Skills
	As he grows up, the child gradually gets to know his body and physical capability. There is increasing awareness of how different body parts can be used, how arms and legs work, what they can do and where his limits are. Physical activity increases intelligence – the more the child moves as he plays, the more receptive he is to knowledge.
	WORD - Linguistic Skills
	The ability to think, speak, use words and meet new languages develops through playing with other children. Children continually develop their linguistic skills and the ability to communicate with children and adults around them – at home, with the family, when playing, at nursery and at school.
