Previous PostPrevious “Play is the ideal context for practicing new skills or trying out new ways of doing things precisely because play has no real-world con-sequence. Nobody is judging, no trophy is on the line, no teammates will be let down, and so the player is free to fail. With freedom to fail comes freedom to experiment. The playworld is a simulation world, a safe and funplace to practice for the real world” – Peter Gray
Next PostNext “Many research studies have shown that children and adults are more creative when they are playing than when they are trying to impress a judge or win a reward.” – Peter Gray
