Özet

The aim of this critical review is to connect the concepts of flow and play to understand how children's culture is affected by adults. Examining adults’ views of play in different cultural contexts is crucial to understand how play is supported. Children are also faced many difficulties to find space and time to play. The concepts play and flow are discussed to point out the importance of uninterrupted play for children to develop skills in the process of construction of their culture.
