It is directly concerned with promotion of physical development and necessitates the provision of adequate free-ranging space to move about in, and natural obstacles to overcome, together with simple, safe, playground equipment, mobile and fixed.

These components are essential not only for acquisition of VE PLA hand–eye co-ordination, but also for attending to and Y localizing everyday sounds, for recognition of the permanence of objects and for learning to appreciate the implications of space and time. Integration of these separate physical and cognitive elements into total meaningful experience necessitates the availability of a number of simple things for manipulation, such as everyday domestic objects as well as traditional playthings like rattles, dolls, balls, building blocks, boxes, toys to grasp and move about by hand, and sound-making instruments.

It presumes a E P L A Y child’s ability to control their body, manipulate objects, IT A T I V integrate and interpret multi-sensorial experience and IM comprehend simple language, or perhaps, more accurately, their caregivers’ vocal tunes. It reflects what a child sees and hears going on around them, providing a lively record of their perceptual learning. At first, this imitation is fragmentary and follows immediately upon the child’s attention being attracted in some way to the activity which they imitate. Later they recall and repeat for their own amusement or for applause a series of these meaningful actions. Imitative play is necessary in order for a child not only to learn the quickest and most effective way of performing meaningful actions themselves, but also gradually.

Additionally, it requires ability to create preliminary ‘blueprints’ in the mind and realize these in practical form. This type of play grows directly out of early exploratory and manipulative play, but also implies capacity to combine early ‘pure’ imitation with purposeful anticipation.

Having learned from experience the probable causes and PRE effects relating to the activities they have observed and copied, children now deliberately invent increasingly complex make-believe situations for themselves, in order to practise and enjoy their acquired insights and skills. In this way they improve their general knowledge and, most importantly of all, refine their social communications. Make-believe play depends upon a child’s ability to receive and express their ideas in some form of language-code. Consequently its spontaneous employment is of considerable diagnostic significance to professional workers concerned with the health, welfare and education of young children.

Solitary play: child plays alone, uninterested in others. Onlooker behaviour: child watches the play of others and may talk to the children involved but this talk does not relate to the play. Parallel play: child plays alongside others, often imitating what is being played near by, but no interaction. Associative play: the children appear to be playing together but their activities are not organized. Co-operative play: playing together in more organized activities where they share intentions about the progress of the play. Play influences and reflects development Page 20 of 23 PERFORMANCE TASK!
