playing and pictures

Submitted by jlebouvier on Sat, 05/07/2011 - 1:27pm.

As I was reading these posts I automatically thought about the connection playing has to images. Apo talking about the roles gender being taught through playing house. Not only do we learn at a young age through these games, but we associate images with these games as well. We have movements and visual aids that lend in the memorization of these games. Through these games we then associate certain images as being fun and others as serious. If you think about any of the games you played as a child there are specific symbols that fit with each one. I will always remember the little old man figurine and the basket that go along with mousetrap.
