I'm telling you a story today about play.

The end of the day's play, gentlemen.

And we should both stay put firmly till end of play today.

And with this, we come to the end of the first day's play.

And after only a couple of words from me at the playground. How about that?

On one day, everybody would eat, and on the next day, everybody would play games.

And social play is part of what we're about here today, and is a byproduct of the play scene.

But here he stands as testament to the fact that you can't roughhouse on the playground today.

This is how many people we now have in the world who spend at least an hour a day playing online games.

Play!

The average young person today in a country with a strong gamer culture will have spent 10,000 hours playing online games by the age of 21.

Now play is not simply a process.

You see that really salty Play Doh?

Fiddling at the Fire

Play Doh.

So, playing with fire.

It's play.

Play Doh!

Play.

I'm gonna break up the game.

The playground?

The time allowed is actual playing time the clock is stopped while the play is not active.

Spectator play, ritual play we're involved in some of that.

In case some of you forgot what play is, this is what play looks like.

The other two stages include simple social play (playing and sharing together), and finally cooperative play (different complementary roles shared purpose).

Would you play with me?

Size of the playing field.

The width of the playing field.

The height of the playing field.

Playing doesn't tire us.

Can I play with you?

Get the bellboy ready.

Playing about, have you?

Don't you want to play, kitty?

You like to play the detective, huh?

We're played out.

Deal me out.

Shall we finish the game?

Whose play is it?

Let's forget the game.

Maybe. Want to play?

Basically, I want to be able to play, The Day the Earth Stood Still, 2001 A Space Odyssey, Star Trek, War Of the Worlds.

Now play is not simply a process. Experts in play will tell you that actually it's a way of being.

You could play it in the dump with some rocks over there, you could play it in a little alley you couldn't hit square anywhere, because the bat hit the wall don't forget the air conditioning and the cable wires.

It's fun to play, too.
