In ‘games, they are active participants of the surrounding world and not ony passive receivers. In family and school, they complete different duties and tasks in a previously defined order, but in the world of games, they can deconstruct reality nto the parts they. find acceptable and actively change it. - Playing games creates an opportunity to practice the role of being an adult. The children often play schoo}, family, hospital, supermarket and try outthe role of being parents, teachers, salespeople and doctors In games, they learn to take turns in playing activities with their partners and continue the roles of others “Playing helps children to build their sense of identity.

Children need to abandon their world of games where they had the leading role.In school age, they are capable of develop- ing their cognitive and social skils They need to accept disappointment and defeat The parents often do not understand that their child carries over the way they cope up with frustration into the real world. The role, the child takes in social games, corresponds to the role he vill have ina social group, Interference of parents in the child's s0cial games with their peers isnot good because this nterfer- tence hinders the chiles socal development.
