Karl Groos (* 10. December 1861 in Heidelberg, † 27. March 1946 in Tübingen) was a psychologist who proposed an evolutionary instrumentalist theory of play. His 1898 book on The Play of Animals tried to persuade educators that play is a prepation for later life. He is often credited with the idea that children need to run off their surplus energy.
