Benefits of play
Play brings major benefits to children including the following:
• It releases physical and mental tension
• It discharges suppressed feelings, aggressive tendencies,
psychological tension and negative feelings in the child
and transfers them from him to the toy. So sometimes
we see the child punching the toy or rebuking it harshly
or even destroying it.

(trike) or playing on a swing or climbing a tree, what do
we see? We see that he is learning new skills that are
subject to certain principles and require certain
potentials in the child. When the child succeeds it gives
him the opportunity to feel in control. For example, when
he reaches the top of the tree it means that he has
managed to control his fear and has begun to evaluate
things.
• Play is proof that the child’s imagination is functioning
and that he has freed himself from the real world. This is
why play during this period of the child’s life is called
“symbolic play”. So you will find that a piece of wood, in
the child’s imagination, can turn into a car, because he
does not take things at face value; rather he takes them
as his imagination suggests they can be.
• Play enriches the child’s life with various activities.
• The child’s knowledge of the environment in which he
lives increases day by day, as playing teaches the child
new things about himself and the world around him.
• It gives the child the opportunity to express his needs
that he cannot express sufficiently in real life.
• It gives the child the opportunity to use his senses and
reason, and increases his ability to understand.
• It makes it easy for the child to integrate and gives him
the opportunity to learn some aspects of social
interaction.
• It gives the child the opportunity to change, which is a
fundamental need in man. Life has to change so that it
will not be boring.
