C. Do it but perhaps as an extra-curricular activity because you're not sure where it fits with a robust curriculum but still think it's important.

I’m appearing to accept an odious premise—namely, that joy must be justified as a means to the end of better academic performance. Not so:
It’s an end in itself.
Does your classroom or your office have room for joy?
How can technology be instruments of joy?

Be aware of wonder.
Remember the little seed in the styrofoam cup:
The roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows how or why, but we are all like that.

Do your students come to school to wonder?
What have you seen or experienced lately that put you in awe?
PLAY

“...the pattern has been that as children grow up and become more proficient at making sense of the environment in which they live, their world seems to become more stable. Thus, as a child grows and becomes accustomed to the world, the perceived need for play.”
“As we watch the world move to a state of near-constant
change and flux, we believe that connecting play and imagination may be the single most important step in unleashing the new culture of learning.”
“...the pattern has been that as children grow up and become more proficient at making sense of the environment in which they live, their world seems to become more stable. Thus, as a child grows and becomes accustomed to the world, the perceived need for play.”
“Play can be defined as the tension between the rules of the game and the freedom to act within those rules.”
