Developing the child’s skills through
play
Make-‐believe and expressive games
• Through this type of play children learn to control their
feelings by expressing anger, sadness and anxiety. It also
gives them the opportunity
to think out loud about
experiences that may be positive or negative.
• Games of make-‐believe help the child to understand
other points of view through playing roles, such as the
roles of a father, doctor or teacher.
• Games of make-‐believe
are regarded as useful in
developing innovative thinking and creativity.
• By playing these games, children learn social skills such as
cooperation, listening skills, giving out roles and
problem-‐solving.
• Playing make-‐believe helps
the child to understand the
characters whose role he plays. For example when he
plays the role of a doctor, that helps him to overcome his
fear of visiting the doctor.
• This type of play helps to develop muscle control and
hand-‐eye coordination.
