Among all kinds of game activities that children participate in, role-playing is the most popular among children. It is a natural game, ubiquitous and occurs in early childhood. It has the typical characteristics of the game, and its initiative, fun, sociality and fiction are very obvious in the role game. It can meet the needs of children's physical and mental development and is a very beneficial game activity for children's physical and mental development. Role-playing is a form of children's reflection of real life and a game that children play according to their own wishes. This is a favorite activity for children and an excellent educational means. In role games, children's initiative, enthusiasm and creativity can only be brought into play under the correct guidance of teachers. Children in small classes begin to realize that they are playing a role, such as father, mother, driver, doctor and so on, and can imitate the main actions and activities of these roles. With the growth of age, rich life experience and the expansion of game themes, the content and plot are gradually increasing and complicated, and the rules are becoming clearer. The children in the big class have reached the climax of their game. They can design games, with clear division of labor and coordinated activities, and fully display their intelligence and behavioral qualities. This development process from low level to high level is the result of education, not the spontaneous performance of children. The correct guidance of role games mainly lies in helping children to play freely according to their own wishes and imagination, giving full play to their enthusiasm, initiative and creativity, allowing children to learn actively and interestingly, developing their emotions and cultivating their abilities. Teachers must never impose their own intentions or designs on children.
In the past, there were two tendencies in the guidance of role games: one was that teachers arranged and guided role games, assigned roles and distributed toy materials, and children could only play with toys passively, so the activities of middle-aged and adult people in The Imitation Game could not give full play to their subjectivity and creativity; The other is laissez-faire, the teacher has no plan, no purpose, no guidance, and the children play at will, losing the educational role of role games. Although the number of "shepherd" and "command" games has obviously decreased, how to grasp their degree is still a difficult problem for many teachers.
