It’s finally going to happen. After years of debating whether I’d become a doctor, a lawyer, a writer, an astronaut, a dinosaur or a super villain, I've decided to become a Playologist!
“Playologist” is the name for volunteers of the Minnesota Children’s Museum, Rochester. I’m loving the basic concept: learning through play.
This upcoming Thursday, I will be patrolling the small, restaurant-sized Children’s Museum for opportunities to play, ask questions and goof off. Roughly two months back, I had the opportunity to dress up as Clifford the Big Red Dog at the Minnesota Children’s Museum, Rochester and, despite the countless terrified children; I had a blast playing the role of one of my childhood heroes (who doesn't love a friendly red dog the size of a house?). I can only hope I will have as much fun when the true me is revealed.
More to come,
Andy Seifert, Playologist
