Q:
What is the difference between kidding and joking and playing ?
A:
They can, in common speech, be used interchangeably at times. Let's say I said something that insulted you and you took offense.
"I was just joking!"
"I was just kidding!"
"I was just playing!"
Same thing.
However, there are differences in meaning. A joke is something funny that requires a set up. This could be a story or a question with a punchline. A funny story without a punchline is just a funny story. A joke could also be hiding a balloon under someone's seat to make a fart sound when they sit down. Confusing as it is, this would actually be "playing a joke on them."
Kidding is usually when you say something lightly offensive, true or not, as a joke. There is usually a person or persons who are the target of this. The phrase "Don't kid yourself" can be used in reply to someone in a nice or a mean way, depending on what they just said. Another classic saying is "Don't kid a kidder" as in "I don't believe you."
Playing is, at least in proper speech, what children do for fun. You and I might also play a game together, like tennis or baseball. In common speech and slang it has other meanings, from joking around to cheating on your romantic partner with another person.
"I was just joking!"
"I was just kidding!"
