Play is a puzzle and a riddle.

It is understood yet misunderstood; known yet

unknown; individual yet universal and tangible, yet so internal that it is
untouchable to someone 'on the outside.' Children's play is acceptable, but adult
play shows the power of messy sport on open fields. However, play is not limited
to children's games, youth sports, family outings, or birthday parties. Play can
influence all aspects of life, not just physical play, but also subjective play, word
play, and effective interactions.
Play is a child’s main occupation. Children learn and practice new skills through
play, as well as make friends and develop a sense of self.
Play is considered as an important factor in various aspects of children’s
development, such as brain development and normal personality development,
whereas play in adults is frequently regarded as a minimal endeavor.
Children could grow through play and leisure. The main motivator was education,
which established qualities of responsibility, honor, loyalty, pride, and beauty. The
philosophical writings that have survived indicate a dedication to state and culture,
with the highest value placed on productive citizenship. It is not surprising, then,
that play was considered an aspect of culture and cultural reinforcement.
As adults, we have the dual responsibility of allowing children the freedom to play,
to take risks and face challenges while keeping them safe from harm
