I. Explain the significance of physical play in the physical
and motor development of a child. (10 pts.)
Physical play includes activities that use physical movements to allow
children to use their energy, and it gives children the chance to develop gross
and fine motor skills, learn new things and socialize. Physical play also
benefits a child’s health. Understanding the importance of physical play is vital
to your child’s development.
Children’s engagement in physical activity may be associated with
changes to certain brain structures resulting in:
o Improved memory function (working memory in particular)
o Improved cognitive control (decision making skills)

2. o Improved cognitive flexibility (ability to shift thinking from one concept to
another)
o Improved verbal skills (use and comprehension of language)
o Improved ability to learn a second language
o Improved spelling performance
o Improved understanding of language and syntax
As a parent and teacher, we must engage our children in physical
activities to lessen their time in cellphone games. Lack of physical activities on
the child may result in poor concentration, their energy levels are low, their
immunity is very low which may lead to sickness, etc.
All in all, the physical play has been positively linked to better health,
better cognition function, and better test scores.
