I certainly have expanded my limited view of "creating spaces" to anythng that provides an opportuny to learn.  I even more appreciate my graduate Sociology course "Play and Games" by Professor Sutton-Smith that I took as an undergraduate (as an engineer student!).  Boy was that class fun and he made us work!  Play is essential to development of animals and even more so in social animals.  The folklore aspect of play really intrigues me.  Check out Sutton-Smith's 7 rhetorics of play.  I wish all school levels could have an opening recess and a mid-day recess where non-school work is encouraged.  We can encourage social interaction and good behavior; plus the students can chill and rest their heads.
