Play is presented as a fundamental activity essential for the development of culture and society. Huizinga outlines five defining characteristics: it is voluntary and separate from everyday life, occurring in specific times and places; it fosters order; it is devoid of material interests; and it yields no profit. These elements highlight play's significance in enriching human experience and its role in shaping social interactions and cultural norms.
