Grać- to play a structured game such as a board game, tag, etc. ex: Do you want to play hide and seek? (Chcesz grać w chowanego?)

 

Bawić Się- very general way of saying to play. ex: The baby is playing with a toy. (Dziecko się bawi z zabawką.)

 

extra: to play an instrument, you use grać followed by “na”

ex: Gram na pianie (I play (on) the piano), Gram na guitarze (I play (on) the guitar)
