Stuart Brown: Why Play Is Vital
Play research pioneer, Stuart Brown, explains in this TED talk why play is vital.
Brown says humor, games, roughhousing, flirtation and fantasy are more than just fun. Plenty of play in childhood makes for happy, smart adults -- and keeping it up can make us smarter at any age.

Just what I needed!
For various reasons, play has not come naturally to me as an adult but this video has demonstrated one reason why I love teaching swimming so much - I literally have to play with pre-schoolers (the Masters of Play!) to get my job done, and that is so much fun for me!
