  • Parallel play
    Become more aware of one another, begin to play side by side without interacting
  • Associated play
    Involve social interaction, interested in each other play but without an agree-upon plan
  • Cooperative play
    Children join force in an active way, they must work together to ensure the play can be done.

Types of play & play materials:

  • Socio-dramatic play requires props and settings. For example, hats, stroller, medical kit, kitchen utensils and etc.
  • Social play requires interaction among children. For example, rubber ducky, spades, buckets, containers, mud, earth, sand
