What roles does the child take on in the game?
In preschool age, the child tries to control games and come up with interesting roles.
A three-year-old child begins to imagine himself as an adult and wants to act independently. While playing, he tries to act as adults, like parents, grandparents, do.
For example, girls take on the role of mother, put the dolls to sleep in the crib, and sing lullabies to them.
Boys usually play the role of dad, “go to work,” “earn money,” “drive a car.”
After “work” the kid shows how he “comes home” and “reads the newspaper.” Both girls and boys show with their voice, speech, and gestures that they are “big.”
