*[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/19th_century 1811]
==Definition==
*1: the [[action]] of ''pretending'' or [[imagining]], typically that things are better than they really are: she's living in a world of make-believe.
==Description==
'''Make believe''' is a loosely structured form of role-[[playing]] that generally has no rules except to stay in [[character]], and requires no specific props. Participants in [[games]] of ''make believe'' may draw upon many sources for [[inspiration]]. Sometimes described as [[book]]-related pretend [[play]], wherein [[children]] draw upon [[texts]] to initiate games. Children seem most interested in texts with, for example, significant levels of [[tension]]. Children engage in make believe for a number of reasons. [[Play]] allows children to "deal with [[fears]] in a safe setting." It also allows them to "indulge their [[secret]] [[fantasies]]."
