Parallel Play
Associative Play
Cooperative Play
unoccupied play ✔✔when the child is not playing, just observing. A child may be standing in
one spot or performing random movements
solitary play ✔✔When the child is alone and maintains the focus of its activity. Such a child is
uninterested in or is unaware of what others are doing. More common in younger children 2-3
years.
,Onlooker Play ✔✔When the child watches other at play but does not engage in it. The child may
engage in forms of social interaction, such as on about the play, without actually joining the
activity. This type of activity is also more common in younger children.
Parallel Play ✔✔Adjacent Play or Social Coaction. When the child plays separately from others
but close to them and mimicking their actions. This type of play is seen as a transitory stage from
a socially immature solitary and onlooker type of play to a more socially mature associative and
cooperative type of play.
Associative Play ✔✔When the child is interested in the people playing but not in coordinating
their activities with those people, or when there is no organized activity at all. There is a
substantial amount of interaction involved, but the activities are not in sync.
Cooperative Play ✔✔When a child is interested both in the people playing and in the activity
they are doing. The activity is organized, and participants have assigned roles. There is also
increased self-identification with a group, and a group identifies may emerge. It requires social
maturity and more advanced organization skills. Examples would be dramatic play activities
with roles, like playing school or a game with rules such as freeze tag.
