Constructive play is a playing activity for preschool-aged children, in which it enables them to make things from different kinds of compounds, e.g., puzzles, play dough, clay, mud, and beads. From the compounds, one can create objects in various shape and form, such as furniture, household goods, and food. Constructive play allows children to figure out how to create different shapes by themselves, whether by their creativity or by imitating a real object. Moreover, when creating things by relying on their creativity, children can construct their knowledge and further extend their experience. Furthermore, the constructive play is also applicable as a method of Gorontalo language teaching for early learners. By the method, children will not only learn to pronounce or to communicate with Gorontalo language, but they also get to materialize the words into actions, thus constructing the language pattern in their long-term memory. As a result, the method is highly recommended for early childhood teachers to enhance the students’ ability in Gorontalo language acquisition. © Serials Publications.
