Abstract

The article focuses on the relationship between make-believe play and the development of children in light of the results of previous researches on the Vygotskian Approach. Since play acts as a crucial part of the children's growth, children social with others and learns to interact through language and role play. As a source of development or prerequisite, make-believe play has a variety of positive effects on children. However, children have to learn academic knowledge which makes basic foundation for their study life in the future, and if they spend too much time on play, they will have no time to learn new knowledge, teachers are struggle to arrange the students' learning plan. Thus, how to balance the time of playing and learning is a big problem for educators. The article gives examples and evidences to explain why make-believe play makes the contribution to the development of children.
