“Play is an activity enjoyed for its own sake. It is our brain’s favorite way of learning and maneuvering. Because we think of play as the opposite of seriousness, we don’t notice that it governs most of society… even in its least intoxicating forms, play feels satisfying, absorbing and has rules and a life of its own, while offering rare challenges. It is organic to who and what we are, a process as instinctive as breathing. Much of human life unfolds as play.”
The space to play by Matt Jones

“_ _ _ _ is a voluntary action or activity that is performed within set limits of time and place according to voluntarily accepted but absolutely binding rules; it serves its own purpose and creates a feeling of excitement and joy, as well as awareness of something that is “other” than “ordinary” life.”
Design as Play

康乃爾大學的Urie Bronfenbrenner教授認為玩有下列的一些基本特質:
1.「玩」本身即是目的,而非達到某種目的的手段。
2. 基本上「玩」是即時性與自發性,是本身的選擇而非外在的強迫。
3﹒「玩」是一種愉快的經驗。
…「我聽,我忘記;我看,我知道了;我做,我瞭解了。」….

「玩」是什麼?
