"play the new adult audience"

English to Spanish Social Sciences Education / Pedagogy classroom research
I was aware of a temptation to "play the new adult audience", but it disappeared quickly.

It looks like an idiom to me. This sentences was said by a teacher who has observed another's teacher class to provide feedback for improvement. Can you figure out how the expression can be translated into spanish without being literal?
Thanks you all in advance!

Just curious Verónica: ¿encontraste finalmente una respuesta correcta? Si es así, ¿puedes compartirla con nosotros? Saludos y gracias.

What comes before is: "We were able to look at our teaching and the students in a different light. I was aware of a temptation to play...."

If you could give us the few phrases that come immediately before these sentences, it might help to determine the meaning. Thanks.

English term (edited): play the new adult audience

considerar al público como adultos jóvenes

el término "new adult" refiere a "adultos jóvenes".
Como que tuvo la tentación de hacer de cuenta o de hablar con ellos como que fueran adultos (jóvenes). Probablemente se refiera a niños o adolescentes y la experienca no fue exitosa.
Habría que leer el resto del documento para estar seguros.

In the words of JJ at St. Martin’s, “New Adult is about young adulthood, when you are an adult but have not established your life as one (career, family, what-have-you).”

...New Adult literature will be geared toward "emerging adults who are navigating career, love and family in a 24/7 connected world."
