Preferred term
play as mastery of nature
Definition
- At its most basic level, play in the form of physical games helps develop skills that are needed in dealing with the natural environment and helps build and maintain the physique of the natural body. But, as anthropologists and ethnographers have shown, play as a process is a way of organizing behavior and as such almost always has additional meaning—religious, political, and social.
