Play-Based Learning: A New Pedagogical Focus with Ancient Roots

Around the world, educators are embracing play-based learning as a powerful pedagogical approach, especially in early childhood. The idea is simple yet transformative: children learn best when they are engaged, curious, and having fun. Play is not a distraction from “real learning”—it is the foundation of cognitive, social, and emotional development.

In India, this global shift aligns beautifully with our cultural wisdom. For centuries, Indian traditions have used stories, festivals, games, and puzzles to nurture children’s values and skills. By reintroducing these practices in modern forms, we can bridge the gap between contemporary education and cultural heritage.

Preserving Heritage through Play

At Roll the Dice, we believe play is not only about fun—it is about identity. When children interact with games and puzzles rooted in our epics and folklore, they build cognitive skills and cultural connection simultaneously.

That’s why we created a special range of heritage puzzles designed for children aged 4+. These puzzles introduce kids to the timeless stories of the Ramayana and the Dashavatara, while fostering problem-solving, memory, concentration, and creativity.
