"놀이" (nori) is a Korean term that translates to "play" in English. It encompasses various activities that are enjoyable and often involve games, sports, or creative expressions. 놀이 can be both structured, like organized sports, and unstructured, such as free play among children. It plays a crucial role in social interaction and cognitive development. In Korean culture, 놀이 is not just for children; adults also engage in various forms of play. Traditional games, such as 윷놀이 (Yutnori) and 제기차기 (Jegichagi), are popular during festivals and gatherings. These activities foster community bonds and provide entertainment across generations.
