This video offers a wonderful synthesis between the affordance of playground structures to support social play and the ways children adjust the rules of a game to fit their environment. The fact that the poles are sufficiently separated allows children on adjacent poles to turn without colliding, yet the poles are not so far apart as to disallow the feeling of a group activity. Of course, these children all know the “Ring Around the Rosy” tune, and singing that together implies they are participating in a group effort. However, each child is free to turn on any unoccupied pole and turn at his/her own rate or direction. The children can even leave and return, since the poles mark their spots. These allowances help the game continue, given that young children need to regulate their own pace, location, and direction. Holding hands in a large circle requires more coordination among children. The spinning on separate poles seems to be just the right level of complexity for these children, who are playing without a teacher.
