This paper outlines the role and the value of play as an integral part of children's palliative care for children with chronic, life-threatening or life-limiting conditions. It will show how providing appropriate equipment sufficient time and relevant play opportunities not only improves the very sick child's psychological well-being but also allows children to cast aside the confines and restrictions imposed upon them by their illness.
