• Constructive play develops the child’s ability to plan,
because this kind of play helps the child to move from
random construction to planning what he wants to build.
Cognitive play
• This refers to play that requires
the child to focus and
think so that he can achieve what is required of him. This
kind of play also measures the child’s ability to figure out
things. Examples of this kind of play include puzzles of
varying
difficulty, memory games, matching games,
sorting games and language
games of various types, such
as describing, explaining and distinguishing by hearing.

child’s mental abilities
as well as expanding his
understanding and making him get used to thinking.
• This kind of play helps the child to develop
problem-‐solving skills.
• It also plays a role in developing the linguistic skills of the
child.
• It develops the child’s
ability to analyse, focus and invent.
• Cognitive games help the child to develop his skills and

Active play
Dr. Jihan al-‐Qaadi – head of the Egyptian Learning Difficulties
Society – explains that at this stage playing
and games have to be
of the type that focuses on muscle development, coordination
and overall mobility in general.
Play outside of the home is
effective at this stage; playing in parks exposes the child to
sunlight which is beneficial for
his body and in treating
bowleggedness. Active play also brings joy and adventure into the
child’s life. Parents have to choose toys that can be pulled along
such
as cars and animals on wheels, or help the child to ride on
small trikes or bikes. Balls that can be thrown and kicked are also
good, and parents can join their children in playing some games.
