'''Play''', (noun) or the act of ''playing'' (verb) refers to the act of engaging in unrestrained, amusing interaction with people or things, often in the context of [[learning]]. It is equally a common and a [[behavioural science]] term, and the act of playing has, in recent decades, come into light as essential behaviour of species' environmental and social [[adaptation]] processes (such as in learning basic hunting skills.). Playing [[tool]]s are [[toy]]s.

==Theatre==
 
A '''play''' (noun) is a common [[literary form]], usually consisting chiefly of dialog between characters, and usually intended for [[performance]] rather than [[reading]]. However, many scholars study plays in this more academic manner, particularly [[classical]] plays such as those of [[Shakespeare]] (rare authors, notably [[George Bernard Shaw]], have had little preference whether their plays were performed or read). The term ''play'' refers both to the written works of [[dramatist]]s and to the complete theatrical performances of such.

==Music==
 
To '''play''' is also the [[verb]] used for the activity of [[musician]]s creating [[music]] from [[musical instrument]]s, and for performing as an actor (see above). None the less, these activities can be as much demanding [[work]] as any other skilled [[profession]].
