play bulletpoints

• ·         The main point I believe katie salen and eric Zimmerman were trying to get across is that there are so many theories about what play is and yet we are so far away from working out all the answers.
• ·         Play is free and voluntary and cannot be forced any play that is forced is not play
• ·         Play is the universal language of learning and it is how our ancestors learned to communicate with each other and through play we develop and grow both as individuals and as a species.
• ·          Play does not just apply to humans animals also experience play when they are young however as we get older play becomes less and less or changes form.
• ·         Play is fundamental for our survival
• ·         Play has rules but at the same time doesn’t have rules for example young dogs play fight but the rules are the dogs don’t hurt each other, on the other hand to play a game of chess there are strict rules in place so it is fair.
• ·         Play is innocent and at the point play isn’t innocent it isn’t play anymore
