Recapitulative play
A theory which suggests that a child's play is a re-play of what its ancestors did in their adult life. If you look at some of what children do when they play, you will see reflected in that, some of what human beings did in the ancient past. The playing through of previous evolutionary stages, animal, savage, nomad, pastoral, tribal, includes fire play, den building, and weapons play.

This play type really moves me. It is fascinating to think that this may be a part of a child's play process. Last night I took action to observe this play type by watching Peter Brook's 'Lord of the Flies' 'A daring translation of William Golding's symbolic best selling novel about the human spirit and the terrifying thesis - that there is a beast in us all.'

Lack of space - out of place
One of the most significant changes in the urban landscape over the last century has been the dissapearance of children... Like the sky lark they have become endangered. Helen Penn, Understanding Early Childhood 2005, pg 180
