Learn From Play

In this week's blog, by Learn From Play Founder Rachel McCann, you will learn that school readiness is about children having confidence, curiosity and the everyday skills that help them join a class community. It’s the feeling of I can try, I can learn, and when it’s tricky I can have another go.

Kids tune out fast, but three-minute Playful Parables are keeping them hooked while teaching big social lessons. The secret is in the design 👉

Playful Parables are original read-along video stories where the words highlight as they’re spoken. Pictures and sound pull students in, and in just three minutes, classrooms get a calm reset that still delivers real learning.

Titles now available:
– Washing Away the Ninja Germs — bathroom routine that sticks
– Being a Friend to Have a Friend — share, invite, take turns
– Sharing Kindness Does Not Include Sharing Food — be kind, be allergy-safe

Teachers are using them for fruit break, before the bell, or as a purposeful pause in the day. Families are finding them just as useful at home — device-light, engaging, and backed by the Science of Reading.

Press play, then add a follow-up activity for whole-text joy that keeps the lesson going. 👉 https://www.learnfromplay.au/post/what-is-a-playful-parable

What is a Playful Parable? Playful Parables are short read-along video picture books designed by a teacher librarian for real classrooms and real families. Each story runs for about three minutes. The words light up as they are read, the pictures and gentle soundscape match the action, and the narration stays in third person....

🎉 We are super excited to introduce our new Playful Parables!!!

These brand-new read-along school stories light up every word as it’s spoken, wrap it in pictures and sound, and turn three minutes into real learning. They are a game changer for teachers and children and every kid we have shown them to has asked to watch again. Teach the most important school lessons without needing to repeating yourself.

Washing Away the Ninja Germs – teaches the importance of washing hands after visiting the bathroom so the message finally sticks!
Being a Friend to Have a Friend – teaches children to share, invite others to join in, take turns and play together with other.
Sharing Kindness Does Not Include Sharing Food – is all about being kind and sharing but also being allergy-safe.
