Play Memories
Think about your favourite childhood play memory.
Was it inside or outside?
Were you playing on your own or were there others?
Where were the adults?
Did it involve risk?
“We don’t stop playing because we grow old…
…we grow old because we stop playing.”
George Bernard Shaw

What is Play?
Play is the universal language of childhood.
Make sense of the world
No “right” or “wrong”
Alone? With others?
Equipment?
End product?
Boisterous? Quiet?
“Play is a child’s work.”
