Abstract :This review was written to evaluate the importance of play in childhood and its effects on children. Regardless of the culture and society, the game, which is the most effective learning tool of childhood, contributes greatly to the development of the child. In recent years, it has been included in the education systems of developed countries. In this education system, there are conscious and planned activities that aim at the physical, mental, emotional and social development of human beings and are accepted as the basic source of the growing generations. These activities, which are an integral part of general education, allow children to learn behaviours such as learning, decision-making, cooperation, ordering, organising, sharing and respecting the rights of others during play. Play enables children to practice, evaluate and perfect the skills they will need in the future. Research shows that play contributes positively to children's mental, emotional and psychomotor development. Although games are divided into different groups, they basically help children adapt to the real world and are effective in meeting their psychological and physical needs.
