In this episode, host Lisa Cherivtch reflects on the transformative role of play in education and how it unlocks creativity, confidence, and connection in the classroom. Fresh from a play-focused education conference, Lisa shares practical strategies and class-tested activities—including her fan-favorite Ugly Sweater marketing project—that help students feel safe taking risks, making mistakes, and growing.
From hands-on engagement to emotional support, this conversation dives into how playful learning helps students think differently, collaborate authentically, and leave with skills that matter.
