Unstructured play can occur nearly anywhere. All it takes is kids,
imagination, and some patience from the grownups. Kids at play are happiest when inventing their own games and re-inventing rules for old games.

Free form play is a big part of growing up. The skills they learn from unstructured play on one hand and the joy they experience from it on the other help them become responsible, caring, enthusiastic adults who also know how to keep play alive in their adult lives. Learning to play well makes kids happy!
