In individual space, I can be the maker of the rules in this space. Unrestrained play gives me a sense of security that is unique to me. It allows me to enter a wider space. Its existence is not only a physical space, but more of a psychological space. This kind of space is above the real space and is more like a layer of protective color, allowing people to feel free. The relationship between play and space comes from the emotions of the participants and also has two sides. In my definition of play, space is an activity that provides positive emotional value.
