During the 10th year, children become very interested in rules and fairness. Before this time, they gave younger children breaks in games, allowing extra turns or hints. Now, they strictly enforce rules. At age 7 years, imaginative play decreases and more props are used. Children who are 8 years old like table games but avoid competitive ones because they hate to lose. Twelve-year-olds enjoy all types of activities that may or may not include competition.
