The purpose of creating the play area of kids is to provide an open game environment, encourage children to choose freely, explore freely, and obtain physical, cognitive, emotional, personal and social development in the interaction with the environment.

Therefore, the premise of the implementation of the activity area of kids is environmental construction, including the planning and layout of the kids activity areas, the equipment and release of materials. In addition to environmental construction, the key to develop effective regional activities lies in the establishment of rules and teacher guidance. The establishment of rules includes the establishment of children's routines and the agreement of regional rules. Teacher guidance includes teachers’ observation and evaluation of children and intervention guidance during activities.

Planning and layout of the activity area

When planning and arranging the equipment in the childrens activity area, the space planning should be carried out first, and then the environment creation should be carried out. Spatial planning includes selecting and determining the type and number of activity areas, and arranging the location of each area reasonably. The principal and teachers should plan the space and use corridors according to the characteristics of the kindergarten, the class space and the number of children in the class etc. Public activity areas of children are added to stairwells and other venues.

After the space planning of the class activity area is done, teachers can start to create the environment of the activity area. The environmental creation of the activity area is divided into two categories: the first category includes infrastructure equipment such as kids toy cabinets, kids toy shelves, tables and chairs, partitions, large props and instruments, which are static environments. The second category includes regional decorations, operating instructions or rules, Dynamic environment such as operating materials equipped in each zone.
