Play has been defined as any activity freely chosen, intrinsically motivated, and personally directed. It stands outside ‘ordinary’ life,
and is non-serious but at the same time absorbing the player intensely. It has no particular goal other than itself. Play is not a
specific behavior, but any activity undertaken with a playful frame of mind.
