Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
A game of kickball would be best suited for school-aged children because in this age group, play involves peers and the pursuit of group goals. Although solitary activities are not eliminated, group play overshadows them. Younger children typically are not able to participate cooperatively in groups yet. Infants begin to play simple social games such as patty-cake and peek-a-boo. Toddlers engage in solitary play but also begin to participate in parallel play. Preschoolers playing together engage in similar if not identical activities; however, no division of labor nor rigid organization nor rules are observed. By the age of 5, the group has a temporary leader for each activity.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
At age 5, some children have imaginary playmates. Imaginary playmates are a sign of health and allow the child to distinguish between reality and fantasy. The child does not need a psychological evaluation based on this information. Television, videos, electronic games, and computer programs help support development and the learning of basic skills. However, these should be only one part of the child's total play activities.
