This blog should probably have been titled “Places we adults can’t play” because there are not too many places that do not allow for some form of play in todays society.
So lets list some places and see what we come up with:
Restaurants: Not a hard one since some restaurants either provide placemats with crossword games etc on them and others supply paper tablecloths with crayons so we can at least play tic tac toe and the kids can draw. If you like to draw you can have fun doing that also.
On the street: It would not be the first time I have seen adults kicking a ball around as they walk to the bus (we live in the country) and who hasn’t seen grown men riding a scooter from the train or bus to work? It counts as play in my opinion even if it IS to save the environment.
In the car: There are not too many of us who haven’t played countless games of I Spy with the kids. We even invent games about number plates to amuse each other on long trips. Playing in the car is definitely popular.
On the plane: Yes that is another easy one. Card games, some travel games are all great ways to while away the hours on a long trip.
This was just a quick think about some places to play. I am sure that you can all think of more. Please add a comment with your ideas. I would love to know what you come up with.
I would be surprised if you think of this one though. You can even play in the comfort room (toilet, for the unitiated). I have found a game of golf that is designed to play while you are busy doing what you do in the toilet. Beat that! You can view it here and purchase it if you want. Looks cool to me!
