Playology is the study of Play.

Defining PLAY~

* Play as defined in common dictionaries:

Verb. To engage in activity for enjoyment and recreation rather than a serious or practical purpose.

* This definition definitely has false and misleading information! In addition to "childs play," there is serious play with practical purposes and possibly deadly outcomes!

So a true definition of Play is needed.

A good start in defining PLAY may be to use it as an acronym, and here is one~ PLAY: Participating, Learning, Analyzing, Yielding.

The purpose of Play is to learn.

More to come.

Consider this~ Everyday there are invitations to PLAY and you may say nay or yay.

Consensual Play is very important.

We all Play roles in the game of life.
