By using phenomenography as a method we haveinterviewed nine educators about their perception about childrens’ wild play and how it canbenefit them. We discuss the educators' different views of the challenges that come with wildand risky play in the indoor environment in preschool and how to accommodate the entire class.The majority of those interviewed associated the term 'wild play' itself with negative terms, suchas chaos, fighting, conflicts, but beyond this, they recognized that children had a need to engagein this type of play even indoors. Educators highlighted the limitations present in theenvironment, such as noise levels and space.
