玩扮嘢[e 20]涉及「扮到好似某件物體或者某個人係第樣嘢噉」嘅玩,例如一間用積木砌出嚟嘅屋並唔係一間真嘅屋,但個細路喺玩嗰陣扮到好似間積木屋係間真屋噉(既係物體玩又係玩扮嘢);又或者係玩煮飯仔,班細路扮到好似自己係一個家庭嘅成員噉,但佢哋未必真係同一個家庭嘅成員(既係社交玩又係玩扮嘢)。喺年紀大少少嘅細路當中,玩扮嘢可以複雜到涉及一大班個體進行表演戲劇等嘅活動。喺玩扮嘢嘅過程裏面,細路要展現想像力(明明物體 A 同物體 B 係兩樣嘢,但將 A 想像成 B)同埋留意唔同事物之間嘅抽象相似(一間積木屋唔係一間真屋,但兩者都有屋頂同牆等嘅特徵)。因為噉,玩扮嘢俾人指對於認知發育嚟講好重要,而且透過對「邊個扮乜角色」等嘅談判過程(例:「我想喺套話劇入面扮演主角」)仲會涉及同人相處嘅技能[26][27]。睇埋心靈理論。

"Summing up the formal characteristic of play, we might call it a free activity standing quite consciously outside 'ordinary' life as being 'not serious' but at the same time absorbing the player intensely and utterly. It is an activity connected with no material interest, and no profit can be gained by it. It proceeds within its own proper boundaries of time and space according to fixed rules and in an orderly manner."
"Play is repeated behavior that is incompletely functional in the context or at the age in which it is performed and is initiated voluntarily when the animal (or person) is in a relaxed or low stress setting."
"Parties recognize the right of the child to rest and leisure, to engage in play and recreational activities appropriate to the age of the child and to participate freely in cultural life and the arts."
