We have two verbs for that in Danish: “at spille” or “at lege”.

AT SPILLE
Is when you interact in a game with clear and concise rules, then you “spiller”. Example:

“Han elsker at spille volleyball” = He loves to play volleyball
“Jeg elsker at spille Matador” = I love to play Monopoly

You also use the word for playing an instrument.
“Jeg elsker at spille guitarre” = l love to play the guitarre

AT LEGE
“Lege” is used when children play. It is a word for childrens play – a form of companionship which is fundamental for childrens´ life. Children “leger” with each other. They enter into a parallel univers, space and time. They use their imagination and learn about themselves and the world in process.

“Skal vi ikke lege?” = Do you want to play?
