Ordinary games are an important vehicle for children''s learning. They provide a powerful, naturally occurring learning environment that is physical, playful and fun. Playing games requires interpersonal skills in language, thought, social behavior, creativity, self-regulation and skilful use of the body. When children play games together they develop the following key capacities:

Cooperative behavior
Focused attention
Social understanding
Holding information in mind
Motor, spatial and sequential planning
Self-regulation, e.g impulse control, coping with excitement, controlled exertion
Collaborative behavior and negotiation
Self-expression and creativity.
Games provide a social experience that is emotionally compelling, where children laugh and have fun and do not realise they are interacting, problem solving, negotiating and cooperating with each other.
