Play, Games, and the Development of Collective Intentionality
Rakoczy, Hannes
New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, n115 p53-67 Spr 2007
Playing games, particularly pretense games, is one of the areas where young children first enter into collective, conventional practices. This chapter reviews recent empirical data in support of this claim and explores the idea that games present a cradle for children's growing into societal and institutional life more generally. (Contains 2 notes.)
