Four metaphors of play 1. Play as Transformation -Smilansky’s considered the transformational aspects of play important for evaluating the level of play. Four Question to Judges the Quality of Transformational Behavior * Is the child pretending to be someone other than who the child really is? * Is the child pretending that others are different from who they really are? *Is the child pretending that objects are different from what they actually represent? *Is the children pretending that the situation is different from what it really is? 2. Play as Metacommunication - In this metaphor, children must use interpersonal or intrapersonal message to establish, maintain, interrupt, reinstate, and terminate the play event. 3. Play as Performance- children have their own ideas for how the play should be done. 4. Play as script- Play is the expression of their interpretation of their own experience. Wolf and Grollman suggest three different levels. Scheme level- Shown when children perform one or more brief actions associated with a small event. Event level- Children enact two or three schemes that are parts of pursuing one goal. Episode level- Occurs when children perform two or more events directed toward a single goal.
