Table of Contents
Foreword

When thinking about children, one automatically thinks about play. Play is something which comes in different forms, elderly may think of play as something manual or traditional, whilst the younger generation will definitely think on the digital lines of play. Play has evolved through time and although sometimes we may feel irritated by the fact that manual play is lacking in todays world, we must admit that technology has stepped up play also due to the fact that now it is also targeting to become more accessible to everyone, including children with various forms of impairments.

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child also mentions the right to play for every child in its Article 31. This strengthens the argument that play has to be offered to everyone, all children need to be included and have the chance to be creative, to physically participate and therefore have a harmonious cognitive development. We have to keep in mind that we have all been children and we know by fact that play, apart from entertaining us, helped us grow stronger and better because it gave us the opportunity to experience freedom, curiosity, imagination, etc. Play also develops concentration, a form of following rules (if the game has rules), repetition, planning, problem solving and satisfaction.

One doesnt play if playing that game or playing with that toy does not satisfy him or her, therefore play is also a matter of option. A child might like playing board games, others might like playing with other stuff which is not really meant to be toys such as, for example, a sauce pen (which might be considered as grown up stuff). There is another important facet in play, which is the social aspect. There are children that like playing with other children, sharing toys or playing a game together, and there are other children that prefer playing alone. It is known that play changes through childhood and children themselves change the way they look at play and the way they choose to play. A description of the different types of play and of play development through childhood can be found in of this book.
