Child’s Play NY works in classrooms across New York City to help teachers learn to use theater games for a multitude of purposes—building classroom culture, activating student voice, and connecting to curriculum. In Sammi Priti’s first-grade classroom at Arts and Letters United 305 in Brooklyn, Child’s Play NY founder Jocelyn Greene visits during a morning meeting to demonstrate ‘I Have a Gift For You,’ a game where students practice using each other’s names, expressing their thanks, and tapping into creativity. The result is a sense of gratitude and positivity that lasts throughout the day—and beyond.
