Play
The
most beautiful view in the world, Life through the eyes of a child.

I loved dolls and tea sets when I
was a little girl. I was supported by all my family members, because everyone
who could made sure that I had dolls and tea sets and other toys in that
category.
Today some forms of play are the
same and some are different. I have noticed that kids play some of the same
games on the playground that I played with my friends. It is very nice to see
that children are playing the same games and singing some of the same songs. Some
of the best games were playground games with songs to them.
My hope is that the general
public will learn the importance of play for young children. That children’s play
time is respected and their creativity and imagination time becomes sacred and
mandatory. I hope that not too much energy is put into more computer games and
allow the essence and practice of playground games and creativity to get lost
in a cyber space world of computers.
Play exercises a child’s imagination
while building many skills that will be used throughout adult hood: skills such
as playing fare, strategy, sharp and quick thinking, team work and many more.
