Cognitive Development Children exercise their executive skills when planning

pretense scripts, using symbols in games, designing constructions, and organizing games with rules.

In construction play with blocks, exploratory manipulation precedes the capacity to create new forms.

These three dimensional constructions help older children develop the visual-spatial imagery that supports learning in mathematics, chemistry, and physics.

Outdoor seasonal games that require eye-hand coordination and aiming- such as hopscotch, jump rope, tag, and baseball- also build the imagery that supports such concepts (Bergen, 2009).

Imagination and Creativity Children dramatize roles and scenarios with animals, toy

soldiers, action figures, using themes such as “playing school” or “cops and robbers.”

Children engage in such pretense trying on a sense of power and independence (Bergen, 2009).
