Forget Spotify Wrapped—we’ve got RE:PLAY Wrapped, and it comes with significantly more festive knitwear.
Our final team meeting of the year went full Christmas mode, and honestly? After a year of framework building, survey launching, and Fellow wrangling, we’d earned the right to discuss playful learning while wearing Santa hats and reindeer antlers.
But between the tinsel and the terrible jumpers, we reflected on what’s been an extraordinary year for the project. We’ve gone from concept to action, from solo institutions to a six-university collaboration, from theoretical frameworks to 32 real modules being redesigned right now.
Your RE:PLAY Wrapped Stats:
- 🎯 32 Fellows recruited and onboarded
- 🦌 6 partner institutions fully engaged
- 🎄 1 complete RE:PLAY Framework with 7 R’s
- ⭐ 8 Islands of Play created
- 🎁 Countless survey responses rolling in
- ❄️ 100% commitment to ridiculous Christmas jumpers
If playful learning is about bringing joy, creativity, and engagement back into education, then ending the year with a meeting that embodies those exact values felt perfectly on-brand. We’re not just researching play—we’re living it.
Here’s to a 2026 filled with module launches, evidence gathering, and (hopefully) slightly better fashion choices.
Happy holidays from the RE:PLAY team! 🎅🐬
