Play
So...
For a school course, I have to spend time "playing", documenting my time in a log and finding a verifier for the activities.
Tried to Internet search "playing"...I don't think they meant computer games, but not sure exactly how I can "play"?
Board games require a lot of time and a lot of people...
I'd love to build some lego houses, but I don't have any...

P.S. The course is managing stress, so...

What are you talking about. Playing definitely involves computer games. Just log your activities with Fraps (I did with sc2). There is definite stress. For example, stress in your own skills for sc2, stress in team games like dota etc. Talk to your TA/prof about specifications

I think the point of the course is to get us away from the computer and doing other things.

What else did they give you in terms of instructions. Play is such a general verb and can be applied to so many things. As I said ask for specifics

The assignment is a trap. It's intentionally undefined, despite sounding like it's supposed to be something you enjoy doing. Your profs and TAs will be unreachable, and no one in your class will be of any help.

The day it's due, your prof is going to ask how you dealt with not knowing how to approach the assignment, and your mark will depend on where your answer lies between "playing the piano" and "kicking a puppy".

...Calling it now.
