Physical Play in the psychology context refers to spontaneous, body-based activities that involve movement, coordination, and physical interaction with the environment or others. It includes running, jumping, climbing, rough-and-tumble play, dancing, or using playground equipment—and is especially important in childhood development, but also relevant in therapeutic and adult contexts.
This form of play supports motor skills, emotional regulation, social bonding, and cognitive growth. It allows individuals to explore physical boundaries, express emotions somatically, and process experiences through movement.
