On the playground Posted by on Nov 17, 2011 in Culture, Nature, Vocabulary

How to spend a day with kids? There are a lot of different ways, depending on the weather and place where you live. But most of the places will have small or big playgrounds nearby.

Let’s name few different things you can see at the playground:

zestaw zabawowy – playset

huśtawka – swing

piaskownica – sandbox

karuzela – carousel

domek do zabawy – playhouse

drabinka gimnastyczna – “monkey bar”

ławka – bench

huśtawka wagowa – seesaw, teeter-totter

zjeżdzalnia, ślizgawka – slide

linaria, park linowy – playplace with ropes (lina – rope)

kiwak, sprężynowiec – springrider

labirynt – maze

ścianka wspinaczkowa – climbing wall

Sure kids love the obvious things about the playground—hanging upside down on the monkey bars, swinging feet-to-the-sky on the swings—but so many great social things happen there, too. They learn to get along with other kids. They learn to share public space. And you love watching them play and feel the sense of childhood delight. Playgrounds are all about the carefree nature of being a kid.

About the Author: Kasia

My name is Kasia Scontsas. I grew near Lublin, Poland and moved to Warsaw to study International Business. I have passion for languages: any languages! Currently I live in New Hampshire. I enjoy skiing, kayaking, biking and paddle boarding. My husband speaks a little Polish, but our daughters are fluent in it! I wanted to make sure that they can communicate with their Polish relatives in our native language. Teaching them Polish since they were born was the best thing I could have given them! I have been writing about learning Polish language and culture for Transparent Language’s Polish Blog since 2010.
