“Like bending a tree when it’s young, we educate children from their early years.” Preschool is a second home, a place where early dreams are nurtured. And games are a key to unlocking this wonderful world. Various preschool games are not just for fun; they are also a highly effective educational tool.
My daughter, Bong, used to cry a lot when she first started preschool, always clinging to me. But ever since her teacher introduced preschool games, she’s completely changed. Suddenly, she loves going to school, and at home, she excitedly tells stories about playing teacher role-play and building schools with her friends. Seeing her happy, sociable, and healthy makes me so happy.
The Diverse World of Preschool Games
Preschool games are incredibly diverse and plentiful. From active games like dragon dance and cat and mouse to intellectual games like puzzles, building blocks, and drawing, they all bring fun and beneficial experiences to children. Ms. Nguyen Thi Lan, a preschool education expert, in her book ‘Educating Children Through Games,’ emphasized the importance of combining learning and play in children’s development.
Outdoor playground equipment at a preschool, including slides and swings is also an essential part, helping children develop physically, strengthen their health and flexibility. Like my child, she absolutely loves the slides and swings at school. At home, she keeps asking her parents to make one just like it.
Benefits of Games in Preschool
“Learn through play, play to learn” – this saying is indeed true. Games not only help children have fun and entertain themselves but also contribute to their comprehensive development in physical, intellectual, language, and socio-emotional aspects.

According to Ms. Pham Thi Hoa, principal of Hoa Sen Preschool in Hanoi, games also help children develop essential life skills, preparing a solid foundation for their future.
Children happily playing together during playtime at preschool are always filled with laughter and joy. This is clear evidence of the effectiveness of games in educating children.
