1. Exploratory Play-children learn through interactions with one another and play is a wonderful way for children to do this. One form of play is exploratory play. Which are activities that children will carry out firsthand investigations of people, places, objects

and events. These activities may be open ended experiences, but children will learn on how to explore and what to explore. Exploratory play allows children to learn about items that interest them, by doing this in a purposeful and creative environment. This type of play gives the children a way to discover new information while they are investigating their surroundings.

Exploratory play promotes the following for young children:

It will stimulate their brain connections, it will build on their early cognitive development, it will help with problem solving skills, and will build the child’s self- esteem up and it will also build their self-confidence up. Most of all it will build their critical thinking skills up. One con of this type of play is safety for the child. Making sure, that the area is safe for exploratory play, allowing the child to feel safe in the area of play. Especially when the play is outside. When teachers are introducing exploratory play to students, they need to make sure that the play will stimulate the children’s interest and by doing that they will need to provide activities that include sensory involvement.

2. Guided Discovery-

Guided discovery can be any type of activity that teachers create. It also is a teaching strategy that is used to introduce materials in the classroom. The major role of guided discovery is to introduce new concepts and excitement about the classroom resources. By having guided discovery, it provides opportunities to introduce vocabulary, let the children show their prior knowledge regarding the topic and to teach responsible use of the materials that they are using. By using this technique, it will give the children excitement and will generate new skills about learning something new. A fun way to teach is get the students interested in the material that you have presented to them. You can create a mystery about the materials, also by using a different tone of voice when you are presenting the materials to the children will catch their attention. A great way to build a common knowledge base is to ask the students open ended questions. And to encourage them to think about their past experiences with the material and to share their current observations. Some questions could be what clues do you see? What do you know about the items? Open ended questions are the heart of guided discovery. When asking students these questions we are looking for reasoned, relevant responses rather than the correct answer. A con may be when a child gets off track and the teacher will have to redirect the student to get back on track. Guided discovery helps have a deep impact on the child’s learning. It gives them the opportunities to stretch their thinking and work independently. The most important aspect is that the children are at the center of the process. “The Guided discovery model helps students to strengthen and increase their own confidence with the discovery processes themselves. Thus, able to raise the spirt of student learning. So that students have a stronger motivation to learn.” (Supriadi,Syazali & Lestari; 2018).

3. Problem Solving.

Problem Savings activities are to enhance the children’s thinking and learning, so of the best problems to give the students are multi-sensory, because they allow the students to gather information and they could have one or more possible solutions. All problem
