My essay is describing a dilemma of my own experience, of how you as a teacher should relate to the children´s free play at preschool and how you as a teacher relate to children´s invitations to play. The dilemma consists of whether preschool teachers should be participants in the children´s free play or merely be present at the side of the play and also what impact the teacher´s authority has in children´s free play. In the essay, I explore the concept of "free play". The purpose of my essay is to highlight the different perspectives of free play and the teacher´s participation. I do that by reflecting in terms of the scientific essay. The questions I have formulated based on my dilemma is: - Do I , as a teacher, have something to contribute with in children´s free play? - Am I, as a teacher, an authority that interferes with children´s free play and makes them adapt to my rules or can I instead serve as a support and inspiration in the free play without the play taking place on my terms? - What is actually free play?
