Abstract:
Creative play is the one that ensures not only the assimilation of the real to the self, as the game in general, but the assimilation ensured by a symbolic language constructed by me and modifiable according to its needs. The creative game is the game through which the child reproduces through gestures and words (and possibly with the help of objects, toys), an aspect of reality.
Creative play is the most common form of play in preschool. Both before and after preschool, it is in most cases associated and sometimes combined with other kinds of games and even undifferentiated from them (such as games of manipulation, movement and educational games, with dramatizations). Only at preschool age does it develop relatively independently, having a well-defined structure and evolution.
