Lê finds play-based learning crucial for engaging her first-grade students. Recognising their high energy levels, Lê incorporates games to make lessons more effective. In a lesson on regulations, Lê designed a role-playing game where students acted as traffic lights and vehicles. This interactive approach helped them understand the importance of rules in a fun and memorable way. The activity fostered not only academic understanding but also crucial social skills like problem-solving and cooperation. Lê believes that integrating play into education enhances both learning and interpersonal development.

“You learn many things like problem-solving skills, the knowledge from the lesson as well, and more importantly, when they play together they know how to play with others through conflict, try to solve the conflicts, sharing, and how to compromise.”
