SAKAMOTO, Cleusa Kazue. Play and the human development. Bol. - Acad. Paul. Psicol. [online]. 2018, vol.38, n.95, pp. 251-258. ISSN 1415-711X.

Play is an activity of expression of the singularity of the human being that at each stage of life assumes distinct characteristics and represents nuances of the Human Development. Play shows itself in different ways at different ages, yet it presents a basic form that characterizes it - it is motivated by spontaneity and it can be associated with a manifestation of the creative potential. In our 21st century we contemplate great changes such as the creation of the internet, that constituted a new social landscape and instituted new habits that have no precedent in the timeline of our human evolution. The possibilities of communication with different cultures and of social relationship without face-to-face, concrete but real contact, modified the way of living and thinking of it, in which the Play expanded by reinventing the daily life. Playing, each day more, is an action characterized as experience that features in the future. To play is to produce and protect the culture, to unlock the human potential and to contemplate the incessant expansion of human capabilities that derive from its creativity.
