Original Play

Original Play is a scientifically unrecognized game concept that was invented by American geographer and author Oscar Frederick Donaldson in the 1970s.

[2] The concept is said to help children, adolescents, and adults (with and without disabilities) play instinctively, peacefully express joy and trust, and get to know their bodies better.

[3] Through Original Play, a psychological and physiological process should be set in motion that enables a combination of cognitive, emotional, and sensory-motor learning.

"[5] However, photo and film credits of Donaldson's activities only demonstrate interaction with children up to the age of early puberty.

In a press conference initiated by the association, some Austrian media houses were invited to exchange ideas on November 13, 2019.
