In this study, we examined interaction originating from physical expression in the progression of interactiveplay.The participants were: Oldest: 4（ 2 male, 2 female）, Mid-age: 3（ 1 male, 2 female） Youngest: 6（ 3Male, 3 female） Ratio 3:2（ 1 male 1 female）. An image recording was played, and episodes of play progressionwere extracted.Episodes were divided into categories:“ A:Taking in the rhythm/movements of thegame,”“ B:Variations resulting from taking in the rhythm/movements of the game,” and“ C:Derivations frombehavior resulting from mutually adopting each others’ movements/expressions,“ and were examined intemporal sequence. Results showed that while taking in the elements of the game, they learned to relate toeach other, and had gradually begun exploiting the differences in parts of the game with and without music.In addition, among the interactions within the game, we studied the frequency of appearance of restraint, response,and considerate behavior. We found the mutually responsive movements of the children’s small bodiesto be an important form of behavior, expressing excitement. We found that interactive play using physicalexpression led the oldest and youngest children to express their playful feelings and evolve while sharing thefun with each other.
