On CLD448 CHILDHOOD IN Global context: This week's Discussion question/topic is: Play can be defined in many ways. The following definition offers 5 components of play: "1. Play is self-chosen and self-directed; 2. Play is an activity in which means are more valued than ends; 3. Play has structure, or rules, which are not dictated by physical necessity but emanate from the minds of the players; 4. Play is imaginative, non-literal, mentally removed in some way from "real" or "serious" life; and 5. Play involves an active, alert, but non-stressed frame of mind" (Gray, 2008, https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/freedom-learn/200811/the-value-play-i-the- definition-play-gives-insights). Given this definition, think about structured play and free play - what might the differences and similarities between these two forms of play be? How may these two types of play manifest in different contexts, and in different countries? And finally, what do you think the effects these two types of play may have on childhoods?
