Let's make a circle”. This is what children are told when they start a game. The circle is the first completed shape that a child tries to draw, the circle is a ball, it is the sun, it is another child's face, the circle is a fence, a movement, a gesture, an embrace, the circle is protection, energy and play together, the circle that becomes music and movement is the dance of the round dance, the first and most elementary form of play, relationship and sociality. A circle that becomes a built fence, a playful world to enter, a building that doesn't look like a building, a somewhat strange and somewhat magical place where you can go and play on the roof and where you can go back with a slide below. A round building like the world we live in that children receive as a gift from life so that they can learn to know it and take care of it.
