Summary/Abstract: Play is an occupation that requires thinking, an activity promoting the child’s physical and mental development. It educates children for community life. It is a manifestation of amusement, creativity and mimicry skills for the different age groups. It helps children to learn the rules of social life. The child’s independent life was realized in play; this was its own world independent of adults (KRESZ 1942: 45). However, the society of children was not uniform.
