The topic of this final paper studies in more detail the play that is the basis of the child's development. Children's play is free and therefore no one can deny a child such joy. It is important to provide an environment and materials for undisturbed child play. Educators and the child's family are important in the preparation and design of the space, and they are also there as help, support and cooperation. The goal of this final paper is to highlight the role of play on the overall development of the child, important persons in the child's play, and stimulating space for play. Children's play is a basic activity that contributes to the overall development of a child. Through play, the child gets to know the world around him and thus enables the development of cognition. Different movements are realized through the game, which affect the development of fine and gross motor skills. Through the game, the emotions that the child shows, whether he is playing alone or with other children, are visible, and in this way, communication between children is also achieved. This paper can be useful to theorists who would like to study children's play as a component of modern times and compare it with new technology.
