The importance of children’s games
In child development there is an important phenomenon that shows very clearly the process
of preparation for the future play. Games must not be considered as the haphazard creations of
parents or educators. They should be seen as educational aids and as stimuli for the child's psyche,
imagination and life skills. Every game is a preparation for the future. The manner in which
children approach a game, their choice of game and the importance they place upon it, show their
attitude and relationship to their environment and how they relate to their fellow human beings.
Whether they are hostile or whether they are friendly, and particularly whether they show
leadership qualities, are evident in their play. In observing children at play we can see their whole
attitude towards life; play is of the utmost importance to every child.
But play is more than preparation for life. Games are above all communal exercises that
enable children to develop their social feeling. Children who avoid games and play are always open
to the suspicion that they have not adjusted satisfactorily to life. These children gladly withdraw
from all games, or when they are sent to the playground with other children they usually spoil the
pleasure of others. Pride, lack of self-esteem and the consequent fear of “getting it wrong” are the
three main reasons for this behaviour. In general, by watching children at play, we can determine
with great certainty the extent and quality of their social feeling.
The goal of superiority, also revealed in play, betrays itself in the child's tendency to be the
leader and organizer. We can discover this tendency by watching how children push themselves
forward and to what degree they prefer those games that give them an opportunity to satisfy their
desire to play the leading role. There are very few games that do not incorporate at least one of
these factors: preparation for life, social feeling, or the striving for dominance.
There is, however, one other factor that is present in play: the opportunity for children to
express themselves. Children are more or less left to their own devices in play, and their
performance is stimulated by their interaction with other children. There are a number of games that
especially emphasize this creative bent. In the preparation for their future profession, those games
providing the opportunity for children to exercise their creative spirit are especially important. In
the life stories of many people, it is not uncommon that some who made dresses for dolls in
childhood went on to make dresses for adults in later life.
Play is indivisibly bound up with the psyche. It is, so to speak, a kind of profession and must
be considered as such. Therefore it is not a trivial matter to disturb children in their play. Play
should never be considered merely as a way of passing the time. With regard to the goal of
preparing for the future, all children have in them something of the adult they will become. Thus in
the appraisal of individuals we can reach more accurate conclusions when we have knowledge of
their childhood.

Carol was fortunate enough to win 15.000 pounds! She appeared on the TV programme
Who wants to be a millionaire? and she (decide) __________________ to give all the

famous, but Carol is a (19-year-old/ 19-years-old) _______________________ student.
She gave all the money to a charity organization (which/ who) ____________________
helps orphan children in Thailand and _________________________ she also worked
(as/ like) ________________ a volunteer for ______________ previous two years.
“I first visited the orphanage when I was seventeen, and I felt very depressed by what I
saw. When I got back to England I felt (angry/ angrily) _________________________ –
looking around all I could see were people who (obsess) _____________________ with
money. That convinced (myself/ me) __________________________ to return to
Thailand the following year”, she said.
______________ she won the money some of her friends at university thought that maybe
she (make) _____________________ the wrong decision. “Students seem to live in
____________ unreal world, where they constantly (complain) __________________
about being poor. But there is an enormous difference _____________________ our
situation and people who have absolutely no money”. Carol said. “Before (go)
_______________ on the show I thought a lot about what it (would/ will)
_____________________ be like to have a lot of money and I realized that I wouldn’t like
it at all. And then, of course, as I had been ______________ the orphanage, I knew how
useful that money (can) _____________ be. I definitely think I got more enjoyment out of
giving the money away than if I had kept (it/ them) _____________________ for myself”.
