Learning from Play in Other Cultures
Ebbeck, Frederick N.
Childhood Education, 48, 2, 69-74, Nov 71
Understanding the differences in values that differing cultures attach to play may help educators (1) to clarify the role of spontaneous play, (2) to recognize the limitations of competitive play, (3) to better balance directed and spontaneous play, and (4) to view play as absorbed, joyful, educative activity.
