In support of teacher well-being, playing can offer a levity and perspective shift that seems elusive in times of stress. In this study, the researcher conducted in-depth interviews with ten secondary school teachers about the ways they play. Thematic analysis was utilized to draw up three keys that teachers use to unlock their play. 1) Spark-a playful action, 2) Space-the mindful place where actions are planned or reflected upon, and 3) Structure-the systems that support a teacher's ability to play. Harnessing playful teaching practices can promote a school culture of sustainable and creative teaching and learning.
