Recreation involves structured activities that happen outside of obligation time.

These activities require more of
your time and energy; practicing a skill, participating in a team or group, or paying fees.

Recreation has the ability to become serious recreation; when you can
gain a sense of mastery.

Leisure is the activities that you do outside of obligations; within your chosen interests and/or people.

Fluidly happens in your day, driven by yourself for yourself

Spontaneous or unplanned activities that are easy to 'pick-up-and-go' and are usually more relaxing and lower in cost.

Play is spontaneous activity for a sense of enjoyment (not driven by yourself or the other person) simply for positive emotion and having fun.

Play is divided into 4 stages; Solitary, Parallel, Associate, and Cooperative.

Play does not stop after the age of 18 years old.
