Ways to play with children
Playing with your child is not just a time to play and have fun, but also a time to teach your child life lessons.
The latest research shows that human temperament and habits originate from the embryonic period and the first 2 years of his life, and this point shows the importance of education and the correct method of upbringing in the early ages of childbirth. In this article, we offer you games that, in addition to entertaining your child, provide training to create creativity and strengthen intelligence and increase the level of awareness of your beloved child.
Play is a purposeful physical or mental activity individually or in groups and causes the child’s needs. Play is the child’s natural means of expressing “self”. “Playing should not be considered a way of wasting time,” says Alfred Adler, adding that “a child’s play equals an adult talking, play and toys are children’s words.”
The game has 5 characteristics:
it is aroused from within, it is freely chosen, it is enjoyable, it is a real escape and the players actively participate in it.
To better understand the world of children, they should be seen while playing. Here we introduce games that can be used by parents or educators in kindergarten to developing the child’s intelligence and movement:

We ask children to play different roles individually or in groups and in the theater. Children can coordinate with each other in advance and perform the play by competing in two groups.
Roles and topics can be about family issues: father, mother, sister, brother, etc., school issues: teacher, principal, moderator, students, caretaker, etc. Social issues: greetings, farewell, respect for others Avoid violence by showing fake fights, etc.
Role-playing game (Objective: how to deal with different situations, increase verbal ability, memory)
Theatrical is selected based on a subject, such as a child who takes his grades from school and shows it to his father. Teach the child.
Children have to play the same thing because the role is repeated many times. Children also memorize problems, learn movements, perform, and know-how to react verbally or gently in the face of different situations. In this game, the guide has an important role as a director and must take the lead in the roles.
