There’s no shortage of reasons why engaging in play is beneficial. Play is exploration, discovery, creativity unleashed. It teaches you to be attentive, to connect with own senses, feelings and intentions. It is a lively and relaxed way to gather experiences and develop skills that will be important later in life.

Play is socializing. Through it we learn how to understand others, deal with own emotions and those of others, how to behave in a social context, how to resolve disputes. Through games and playful interactions we learn how to cooperate. During play we learn how to work together towards a common goal, how to get around a shared vision and work out a strategy for bringing it to life.

Play is experiencing the joy and pleasure of a win. Inevitably it also teaches us to cope with a loss. Play helps us understand how rules and instructions work and how to work with them. It also makes for possibilities for our imagination to expand and go wild and come up with our own rules to adapt existing or invent completely new games. Play is the ultimate playground for imagination, the most natural activity for developing motor skills and of course the best way to enjoy the company of our friends, be it in nature, in the backyard or around the table at home.

There are no excuses not to, so … Let’s play !
