I remember "leker" because it sounds like "lake"...I imagine my younger brother and I as children, but we're giant....just to make it more memorable. We're throwing a ball across the lake, when the ball falls into the lake it creates huge waves that knock the boats around. We played like this so often as children, we created our own word for play: "leker"
"Å spille" is used for games with a defined set of rules (sports, video games, etc), while "å leke" is used for pretty much everything that doesn't fall into this category, and hence often what kids do.
Little kids "leker," and it can stand alone. You "spiller" a sport or musical instrument.

For instance 'she plays cards' would be 'hun spiller kort'. 'She plays hide and seek' would be 'hun leker gjemsel'.
For verbs like this is their a way to determine if its she plays or she is playing. Similar with other verbs like leser, spiser etc. It seems fairly random on which form of the verb it would translate to?
My brain keeps scrambling leker because in German lecker means something tastes good
