    Hello everyone, I agree with Evans’ definition of play as activities that are fun, voluntary, and involving active engagement of the child. Play is essential for a child’s development and helps them learn new skills, socialize with others, and explore their environment. It is important for educators to incorporate play-based learning into their curriculum to engage children and make learning enjoyable.
