I need answer for two these questions, but please be attention for my classmates dissociation.

1.
Discuss a situation where an activity or game has helped you learn a concept.

          One can talk forever about the importance of play for children.  The game, in my opinion, helped me develop cognitive, physical, social, and emotional abilities and is more than just entertainment.  Myra Mendez, Ph.D., a licensed psychotherapist and program coordinator at the Providence Saint John Child and Family Development Center in Santa Monica, Calif., says that “… the play is important because it provides the main framework for learning, learning, and problem-solving.”, building an understanding of the world and your role in it” (Healthline, 2020).

         There were not so many exciting books, videos and interactive games, and songs in my childhood.  For the most part, we learned on the street from more straightforward but also exciting games.  I want to share one game, and you probably know it is called “Classics.”  For this game, we needed a small area of ​​asphalt in the house’s courtyard, chalk to draw figures, and a flat stone or tile to hit these figures.  This game develops dexterity, accuracy, ability to concentrate, and knowledge of numbers.  Also, like any game, there are rules.

         Moreover, these rules naturally taught me to manage my behavior by following the rules.  Moreover, there was no protest against the rules because they were not dictated by adults but by the game itself.  Moreover, it is precisely to manage one’s behavior following the rules; the ability to win and lose is a significant moment for preparing for real life. Therefore, I often compare myself to a child and the children I teach and always ask, “Would I understand or enjoy this lesson and how the teacher explains my role.” Moreover, I try to choose an exciting concepts and would like to remember the lessons in different games.

          The game develops observation and memory, attention and thinking, creative imagination, and will. The game is based on what helps and helps me assimilate any concept. Also, according to Vygotsky, the result of the game is a more profound understanding by children of the life and activities of adults, their duties, experiences, thoughts, and relationships. The most important result of the game is the deep emotional satisfaction of children by the very process of the game, the maximum satisfaction of their needs and opportunities for practical knowledge of the world around them, and active communication with people ( Vygotsky, 1966). Thus, we can say that all spheres of the child’s personality development occur in the game.
