Preschool and daycare teachers and parents can now encourage children to learn through play, since playing is what all children love to do most!  Playing while learning not only helps children learn a subject, it also helps children to learn about rules, fair play, right and wrong.

Each game is in black and white so that the children can enjoy coloring the game pictures before starting to play.  The games can be played in black and white format if the children are eager to get started with the activity.  

The games were created for children ages 2, 3 and 4, based on the age appropriate milestones reported by The American Academy of Pediatrics.  The lessons in each game are geared for a target age, but this won’t stop older children and adults from having a great time when playing the games.  They’re fun for everyone!  

A message supporting the effectiveness of learning through play.
ACEI POSITION The Association of Childhood Education International (ACEI) recognizes the need for children of all ages to play and affirms the essential role of play in children's lives.  ACEI believes that as today's children continue to experience pressure to succeed in all areas, the necessity for play becomes even more critical.  ACEI supports all adults who respect, understand, and advocate legitimizing play as an essential pathway to learning for all populations of children.  When working with children, adults should use their knowledge about play to guide their practice.
