  1. Play Group A By Emily L, Emily M, Ben and Maura

  2. Summary Of Chapter: • Laughter is the best medicine • Today about 2,5000 laughter clubs convene regularly around the world • Tight managerial discipline reflected the overall philosophy of Henry Ford, who stated that "When we are at work we ought to be at work. When we are at play we ought to be at play. There is no use trying to mix the two.“ • People rarely succeed at anything unless they are having fun doing it • Many companies in Europe (more than 50) have brought in consultants in "Serious Play" a technique that uses Lego building blocks to train corporate executives

  3. Project One • Invention and play often have much in common. So have fun and create/design a game in a group. Be creative and think outside the box. Focus on what Pink talks about in Chapter 8 for some ideas.

  4. Trash! • Items you need to play: • A deck of 52 cards • 2-4 players • How to play: • Start by shuffling and dealing out 10 cards to each player • Each player cannot look at their cards but rather place them in 2 rows of 5 • Then the first player picks the first card off of the top and look at it • If your card is: • Ace through a 10- place the card in the corresponding spot in your rows • Jack or Queens- considered trash and are to be placed into the discard pile • Kings- can be used as a wild card and can go in any place • Your goal is to fill all of your spots with cards and once the first person does they win that round • Then for the next round the winner starts the game with 9 cards while the other players still have 10 • To win the game you want to be the first player to run out of cards

  5. Project Two • The best way to get in touch with your inner child is to take it outside for some play. Go to an elementary school, nearby park, playground or a place like Seabase and Chuck E Cheese and simply watch kids play and record what they do. While observing think about how play has changed since you were a kid. What are children doing now that you didn't do and vice versa. Please do not videotape the kids because you do not have permission, therefore your observations need to be detailed.

  6. Observations of Play • Location- Mister Rodgers’s play area at Monroeville Mall • Kids played with siblings but played with other children they didn’t know as well. • They were only concerned with having fun and used their imagination to play various games on the play sets • The time went by faster for the children than the parents of the children

  7. Comparison • When we were kids we did a lot of the same things that the children today did. We played with other children we didn’t know because we just wanted to play. As well as we played with our siblings since we were already comfortable with them and knew what they liked to play, such as tag or hide and go seek.

  8. What We Learned: • We learned from the chapter that laughter is the best medicine and people who spend more time playing perform better on tasks. • We learned from the children that having fun is really important when you’re young and your imagination is much bigger.
