FOUNDATIONS OF LEARNING

Games: Games involve other players, have rules, and are eminently social. Games develop gradually as children’s social skills mature. Young preschool children play games in much the same fashion that they participate in movement play. They observe a particular way to move and imitate it. Older preschool children frequently perceive rules as an interesting example of how to play rather than a required behaviour. When playing together, they sometimes have difficulties regulating sequential turn taking. Nor are they concerned with what other players do; they simply are interested in their own actions. Each player is on his or her own.
