Abstract

In this study, we continuously observed three children at play in an adventure playground, and tried to visualize the engagement in each activity as well as the difficulty level and risk of activities. As a result, (1) when playing for the first time, although they showed interest in watching other children play, they failed to do well at first, and learned to play while being taught by other children and adults; (2) they showed interest in more difficult activities, and followed the process of becoming able to play by themselves while failing; (3) the choice of activity varies, with some children transitioning gradually from easy play to more difficult play, while others continue to engage in many types of play regardless of the difficulty of the activity.
