Summary/Abstract: The paper proposes to retrace some of the definitions of the term “play” by illustrating how the various interpretations interrelate, overlap and carry further connotations. It also discusses what approaches to playing should be integrated into classroom activities so that they can better respond to the learners’ needs and preserve the attributes of the real play, namely enjoyment, detachment, creativity, motivation and freedom.
