Park's three-step test

Okay, so imagine you want to play a game with your friends but you don't want anyone to get hurt. That's very important, right? Well, the Park's Three-Step Test is like a rulebook that helps us make sure that games or activities don't hurt anyone.

Step One: The first rule is that the game or activity has to have a really good reason for existing. It can't just be silly or pointless. This means it should have a real purpose or be important in some way.

Step Two: The second rule is that the game or activity can't be played in a way that is mean or harmful. This means that we can't cheat or hurt each other on purpose. We have to be kind and respectful to everyone playing.

Step Three: The third rule is that the game or activity can't be too dangerous. This means that we can't do anything that could cause someone to get hurt, like jumping off a really high place or using a sharp object. We need to be safe and careful.

So, the Park's Three-Step Test is a guideline that helps us make sure that games or activities are important, kind, and safe. It's like a set of rules that help us play together without anyone getting hurt or upset.
