This paper presents jogo, an explorative design that uses sound as a medium to encourage children to play and socially interact in a physically embodied sense. Open-ended play materials are explored as a way of encouraging free play. A simple, intuitive yet engaging platform provides a combination of low barrier to learning and motivation in the interaction. A prototype of jogo has been developed to investigate how the provision of a tangible play experience can encourage children to play freely in a more physical way, while socially interacting with others around them.
