Play is as valuable for adults as it is for children’s cerebral cortex stimulation and neural connections. Whether you play with imagination, words, games, creative materials, or physical fun, you release endorphins. These feel-good hormones help reduce stress. Even five minutes of play will boost your energy and sense of wellbeing.

Work play can also help improve problem-solving skills and create inspirational ideas. Playing with team members helps build relationships and can increase compassion, respect and communication.
