Play is defined as an activity engaged in for enjoyment and recreation rather than serious or practical purposes. Play involves purposeful chaos within a "magic circle" boundary of agreed upon control. It is an important activity because it provides a safe place to fail, experiment, and learn without real-world consequences, making it an ideal environment for building skills and resilience through experience.

Sometimes you fall before you rise
Sometimes you lose it all to find
You've gotta keep fighting
And get back up again
