My Connection to Play



The swimming was my way of knowing that there was no school and I can stay in the water all day long with out a care in the world.

 


Playing on the slidingboard allowed me to be bigger than everyone around me and I was not afraid of heights.

 

I enjoyed working on puzzles as a child to be able to work on figuring things out in life.

Quotes
Gelett Burgess
There is work that is work and there is play that is play; there is play that is work and work that is play. And in only one of these lies happiness.

George Bernard Shaw
We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.

Mark Twain
Work and play are words used to describe the same thing under differing conditions.

Plato
You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation.

Play keeps us fit physically and mentally.

Stuart Brown, MD

You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation.

Plato
Greek philosopher
427–347 BC

The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct.

Carl Jung
Swiss psychoanalyst
1875–1961

In play a child always behaves beyond his average age, above his daily behavior. In play it is as though he were a head taller than himself.

Lev Vygotsky
Russian psychologist
1896–1934

I was always playing with my dolls and other toys as a child being that I was the only child.  Family members always encouage myself and my cousins to go play when they were talking. The adults that were apart of my life rarley got involoed in my play, even though they were around I choose not to use them.
In this day and time play is much different now than i was a kid many children spend time playing video games, than creating their games with friends.  I can remember playing games with friends outside until it got dark.
