Kindergarten's choice of games as a basic activity is determined by the characteristics of games and children's physical and mental development.

Children learn in games to meet their needs of being active, curious about playthings and interacting with others. , rather than the requirements of adults. Therefore, learning in the game is completely driven by children's interests, preferences, exploration and other intrinsic motives. Therefore, children are always accompanied by pleasant emotional experience in the game, coupled with high enthusiasm and initiative, so children's learning in the game is subtle, and even children themselves don't know that they are learning.
