Body play and movement Social playNot only was it healthy by being active, but it engaged me in a social activity. Thus allowing me to not shut myself from society at an early age.

Video Games

Imaginative and Pretend play Creative playVideo games increased my imagination in the real world, but also allowed me to channel it into something that was acceptable in the world.

Pretending

Social play Pretend play Creative playRather it be playing house or doctor, or playing with action figures. Pretending was another way I was able to channel my imagination, especially before my interest in video games, while also being social with my friends or siblings.

Childhood Revisited

“Enjoy the simple things in

life.”

Fun with friends Vivid imagination Interactions with music

Play in School and Life

create something that’s more than just ordinary. It’s what can spark something that can be used to separate us from the crowd.
