Importance of Free Play in Early Childhood

Paper Summary:

It seems that a game is a natural process that is taken for granted, since every child knows how to play, and there is no need for special teaching in order to provide the habits and the planning, but if we examine the diverse values of the game, we will see that even this spontaneous activity should be planned. This work examines the influence of free play on the social relations in early childhood.

From the Paper:

"Games appeared in the world together with the appearance of human beings. Some say that the game was born even before the human beings were created. The game accompanies us in many forms, in all ages and through all the generations. Since game is an expression of social life, of active life together with other people, it should serve as a useful and important tool for the teacher."
