environment of play for the kids. Also the adults can provide the basic needs of educational games, such as,

toys, playdough, blocks and coloring. And the adults should not punish the children when they are playing if

they make a mistake. For example, if they broke something accidentally. In addition, the adults must not put rules for the kids play, because play is free they do what’s in their head and what they imagines, the kids know what they want to play and how adults cannot

put rules for the kids.
