Exactly! We used to spend hours making up plays, telling stories, and generally exploring the real world around us and the imaginary worlds we made up. We always spent long car trips and waits in dentist offices chatting and making up games.
It is a skill children will need when they grow up and move out into the real world. In many different professional jobs the imagination is used. Not just the obvious ones such as writing or art, but also the sciences, maths, and technology. I do wonder if children pick up the necessary skills through computer / video games -- perhaps they do.
