Answer to Question 1

Set clear rules. Do not allow children to use equipment in unsafe ways. Before introducing an activity, consider the hazards and eliminate the most serious. Provide safety equipment. Have enough adults to supervise. Be sure staff members are aware of policies and know first aid. Do a follow-up after an accident to review the cause and help children with their questions and concerns.

Answer to Question 2

As he watched children participating in a relay race, he heard their shouts and squeals. He noticed their reactions as one team won and one lost, imitating what they see when watching sports. He wondered about the competition inherent in this kind of play and asked the question of whether there really could be losers in childrens play.
