Play is . . .
- Intrinsically motivated
- Done for the pure pleasure of the
experience
- Freely chosen
- Pleasurable
"Research shows that the exploratory and creative activity that young children initiate themselves
(play) is the primary way they develop concepts and understanding about the world. Play helps
children develop the skills necessary for critical thinking and leadership. Play is how children learn
to solve problems and to feel good about their ability to learn."
