Play is Universal
[A]ll children in all societies appear to engage in activities that would fulfill some of the criteria of play … That is, children explore and pretend as a way of engaging with the world. More importantly, play everywhere is an ‘enculturing’ process – that is, a means through which children learn about their cultures. (Hyder, 2005, p.21)

Play…
Adapted from Johan Huizinga’s (1938) Homo Ludens: A Study of the Play-Element in Culture
…is voluntary
…is neither
inherently good nor
bad
…has no material
consequences
…has rules (and can handle disorder)
…promotes social
cohesion
