Yes, most verbs will form a gerund by adding -ing , but some will be rather useless, I suspect. Also, we seldom do it with stems that already have a perfectly good noun, nor do we do it where we have common phrases already to hand, as is the case, I think, in your examples, where we would say 'to play with' and 'the way to choose'.
