Play can help us adapt to difficult circumstances, collaborate better and problem-solve.
But play and fun can sometimes be expensive.

"Don't let money or time be the thing that decides whether or not you will have fun," says Emma Tempest, a positive psychology coach. "You can have fun almost in spite of those things if you really put your mind to it."
