8. The nature of game
• Voluntary and free
This feature indicates that
usually in the most genuine
and authenthic game we
play when and wherewe
want.

9. The nature of game
• Fun, enjoyable and
fulfilling.
Play is an enjoyable activity,
that give us good feelings
and memories because
anytime is a good time to
have fun.

10. The nature of game
• Spontaneous,
instinctive and
irrational
Have you ever look at a
child when is playing?
Compare his behaviour with
other situations. When we
are playing, we forget all but
not the game.

11. The nature of game
• Ambivalent
While playing many
things can happen. For
example jump and shout
very happy or grieve for any
situation. In the game we
are continually contrasting
situations.

12. The nature of game
• Intentional and
conscious
When we play, each
player is forced to make
decisions. They have to
interpretate the situation and
give a personal response
through the game actions.

13. The nature of game
• Uncertain, fluctuating
and adventurous.
When we start a game we
dond´t know the final score.,
It´s imposible to guess all
the things that will happen.
For that reason the novelty
intruduce us into an
adventure that will be
different each time we play.

14. The nature of game
• Imaginative, symbolic
and fictional.
When we play we enter
into a world full of fictional
characters and actions that
do not corresponds with real
life. In the games of younger
children, a pencil can be an
airplane, a doll a singer and
a stone a fabolous car.

15. The nature of game
• Regulated
Have you ever wondered “How
is possible for the players of
different countries of a soccer
team to understood between in
the soccer field? ” This is
possible because the condition
of every game has rules. Rules
are understtood a a set of issues
that indicate what are the limits
we can play under the same
conditions.

important aspects as security,
order, sense and structure of

• There are two kinds of rules:
the first is the one that is
directed to explain the
structure of the game and the
second is the one that is

to emphasize positive
behaviour.
