Quotes about play

      


play items for your younger self
















 

Playing jump rope outside was fun
All of the children in the neighborhood would get together and play
hide and seek for hours
What I enjoyed doing most as a child was riding my bike or going skating.


 Growing up as a child playing outside was supported by every adult.
Sometimes we were made to go outside and play. Adults would tell us to
go outside and play, and do not come back in until the street lights
were on. Nowadays I feel that children do not know what it is like to
go outside and play all day. We even went and played in the snow to
make snow angels and snowmen. Children today are more into technology
than physical activities. For example, my nephew is 3 and my twin
cousins are 2. When they are together everyone is on a tablet playing
a game, instead of enjoying each others company. This behavior is even
worst in children that are older. When my cousins and I had girl sleep
overs, we talked,played board games, and enjoyed each others company.
Now when my younger cousins have sleep overs, they are glued to their
phones instead of enjoying each other. Growing up I used to enjoy
visiting my cousins so that we can got outside and play. I also
enjoyed playing barbies and school with my younger sister. As I have
gotten older technology is way more advances, and it allow us to play
games with our friends without even being in the same place. Play also
changes as you get older. Now I consider play going out to the movies,
traveling, or going to dance with my friends. Play is a very essential
part of life and it can keep you stress free and happy.
