Play situations are considered practical sensory experiences and play an important role in the process of education and in organising an environment that challenges the child's potential and abilities. The child learns and remembers information that is linked to sensory experience, practical practice, and handling the experience itself, whereas it is difficult for them to remember or absorb information presented to them verbally or abstractly. The child enjoys the experience when dealing with it directly and handling it, and it becomes easy for them to store it in memory and easy to recall when needed.
Play is also the best means of achieving effective learning, which is what modern education calls for, as effective learning requires understanding and requires developing the ability to classify new information. Effective learning requires understanding and requires developing the ability to classify information and store it in memory in a form that can later be recalled and used.
Play also plays a fundamental role in developing a child's capacity for innovation, because we find that while playing, the child turns play into a serious matter in which they put all their strength and engage with their whole being and feelings, whether that is through building blocks, making shapes out of sand in the form of piles or structures, or watching a toy running in front of them after pushing it and handling its movement with the understanding of a capable person.
The experience of play is linked to many functions, including:
Language development
Emotional development.
The ability to use tools
Problem solving.
Teamwork and social skills.
Mental maturity.
Psychologists, kindergarten teachers, and family counsellors.
