Before beginning this WebQuest, first think about some playgrounds that you know. Think about what you really liked or did not like about the different playgrounds. Discuss these questions with your classmates.
- What would you like to keep from our old playground?
- What would you like to change?
- Think about times you have been hurt or uncomfortable playing on some playground equipment. What could be changed so that doesn’t happen on our playground?
- What are some really fun playground structures that you’d like to see on our playground?
- What materials, colors, or other visual cues could be used to give a Montessori "twist" to a playground?
