Play is an activity for its own sake or it is purposeless activity, striving towards no goal. In words of Hurlock, "Play relates to any activity engaged in the enjoyment it gives without consideration of the end result. Thus paly can be defined as the activity in which a person engages when he is free to do what he wants to do.
this is play, then what is paly way method of teaching?
Caldwell Cook wrote "It is the core of my faith that the only work worth doing is really play : for by play I mean doing anything with one's heart in it."
Therefore the method which enables children to learn with same enthusiasm that characterizes their spontaneous play is often called play -way.
The important teaching methods based on play-way are as following :
1. Kindergarten method
2. Montessori method
3. Heuristic method
4. Project method
5. Dalton method
6. Other teaching methods like Basic education, Gary system and Winnetka plan
