Many parents think that games are just a waste of children's playing time. Educator Krupskaya said: "For children, games are learning, games are labor, and games are an important form of education"; Gorky once said: "Games are the way for children to know and transform the world". Therefore, games are the driving force of children's intellectual development, which can stimulate children's curiosity and creativity, enable children to master some knowledge and skills, form a correct attitude towards things and promote children's all-round development.

Children are lively and like to imitate, but games generally have specific plots and actions, which are imitative, in line with their age characteristics and can satisfy their interests and wishes.

Children are in an important period of growth and development, and active physical exercise is very important. Let him do more outdoor activities, run and jump, such as "swinging the corner" and "jumping on the floor", which can not only cultivate children's flexibility and wit, but also exercise in the process of running and jumping. Older children often like to imitate. For example, if a child sees a moving bus in the street, he will use the bench as a car and start it when he gets home. Watching TV will imitate. Parents should give correct guidance to their children's imitation behavior, educate them purposefully and in a planned way, and enrich their observation, attention, memory and independent thinking ability.

In short, parents can teach their children to play different games according to their different ages and physical and mental characteristics, which can not only make their children happy physically and mentally, but also develop their intelligence and cultivate their good moral character.
