Evidence from the ways in which these boundaries are treated helps us to gauge the extent to which an activity remains truly playful, or becomes more serious.

Such actions were virtually unheard of (and unthinkable) in earlier, less utilitarian times. In childrens play the spatial element, though less formal than the lines on the pitch, is no less important. Young children know, for example, which space is part of their game, even if their parents are unaware of the fact that the chair they just sat on is, in fact, a railway engine.2.
