Homo ludens - playfulness

These videos were originally made for our grandchildren but gained a slightly larger audience on Facebook. Light relief during the Level 4 & Level 3 periods of lock-down due to the Covid-19 virus in 2020. They were mainly done at my desk during breaks from marking essays. They continued into Level 2.
