"The girl did not play with the boy."

Translation: Pigen spillede ikke med drengen.

Why isn't leger accepted, I haven't been able to understand the difference

[mccnie_]

idk how old your comment is, but i think leger: board/video game
spiller: tag/it, the floor is lava, hide and seek, etc.

Actually it's the opposite, at least our teacher was explaining. And spille normally requires object: playing what: cards, bord games. Lege - like kids playing. So this sentence doesnt sound right.
