Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This activity best demonstrates cooperative play since the children are working together towards a common goal (playing school) and taking on different roles within the game. Associative play usually involves playing side by side without necessarily interacting or sharing a common goal. Functional play involves using objects or materials for their intended purpose (e.g. using a toy hammer to pretend to build something). Parallel play involves playing alongside each other without necessarily interacting or sharing the same activity.
