Here is an example timetable for a play-based classroom at the Primary 1 level:

8:30-9:00am: Arrival and free play 9:00-9:15am: Circle time (greeting, sharing, and discussion of the day’s activities) 9:15-10:00am: Free play (children choose from a variety of activities, such as blocks, art, dramatic play, and sensory play) 10:00-10:15am: Snack time 10:15-10:45am: Direct teaching time (teacher-led activity, such as a read-aloud, math or literacy lesson, or science experiment) 10:45-11:30am: Free play (children choose from a variety of activities, such as blocks, art, dramatic play, and sensory play) 11:30-12:00pm: Outdoor play (weather permitting) 12:00-12:30pm: Lunch time 12:30-1:00pm: Quiet time (children rest or engage in quiet activities, such as reading or drawing) 1:00-1:45pm: Free play (children choose from a variety of activities, such as blocks, art, dramatic play, and sensory play) 1:45-2:00pm: Circle time (closing discussion and reflection on the day’s activities) 2:00pm: Dismissal

In this example, there is a balance between free play and direct teaching time. The children have ample opportunities to explore and learn through play, while also receiving some structured instruction from the teacher. The exact amount of time for free play and direct teaching may vary depending on the needs and interests of the children, as well as the curriculum goals of the school or district.
