The word(s) "play" appears 24 time(s) in 24 verse(s) in Quran in Muhammad Pickthal translation.

(21) Who play in talk of grave matters;

(22) His are the ships displayed upon the sea, like banners.

(23) Know that the life of the world is only play, and idle talk, and pageantry, and boasting among you, and rivalry in respect of wealth and children; as the likeness of vegetation after rain, whereof the growth is pleasing to the husbandman, but afterward it drieth up and thou seest it turning yellow, then it becometh straw. And in the Hereafter there is grievous punishment, and (also) forgiveness from Allah and His good pleasure, whereas the life of the world is but matter of illusion.

(24) So let them chat and play until they meet their Day which they are promised,
