Meaningful Play 2018 Talk
Presentation slides and presenter notes from the Meaningful Play conference in 2018, “Games of Fellowship: Affection, Empathy and Making Friendship Games”
Category: Magickal Games
We all have playful natures–we share the enjoyment of tactile exploration, the games and simulations we invent to make those objects come alive is the very thread of craft.
“Work and play appear as opposites if play itself seems just an escape from reality. On the contrary, play teaches children how to be sociable and channels cognitive development; play instills obedience to rules but counters this discipline by allowing children to create and experiment with the rules they obey. These capacities serve people lifelong once they go to work.”-Robert Sennett, The Craftsman
