The above quote was repeated with much hilarity at yesterday’s Recess! session… I believe we were coming down the stairs headfirst at the time, reminiscing about the pretend games we all played as kids. As adults we get hung up on rules and scoring systems, but kids play in a way that is unhindered by this “logic” nonsense. Kids’ play is all about exploration and joy in movement (two themes we hit on all the freaking time at Recess!) Abandon your legs for a moment. How are you going to cross the room to get another cup of coffee? Try it out. I’ll wait here.
Um, try this at home, not at work or on the TTC. Just a suggestion.
