Types of play!

When you pick up your child from daycare and notice them in unoccupied play, onlooker play, or associative play, it doesn’t mean they’re lonely, being ignored, or that the teacher isn’t engaging them enough.

Just like adults, children don’t always feel like being social or active.

Sometimes, they simply want to watch, observe, or explore on their own, and that is perfectly okay. Observing the world around them is a beautiful and important way for them to learn, grow, and understand their environment.

So, what do these types of play mean?

Unoccupied Play:
Watching the world and not playing yet. It’s how kids start to learn.

Solitary Play:
Playing alone with toys. It helps kids focus and use their imagination.

Onlooker Play:
Watching others play without joining in. Kids learn by observing.

Parallel Play:
Playing next to someone but not together. It’s a step toward teamwork.

Associative Play:
Playing near others and sharing toys but not working together.

Cooperative Play:
Playing with others to reach a goal, like building or pretending.

It’s totally okay if kids like one type of play more than another. Every kind of play helps them grow and learn in their own way.

Can’t wait to watch this with my children. Don’t ever unestimate the individual and what they are capable of regardless of what you see on the outside. Communication is power however the form used.
