question 1

two children are sitting across from each other. each child is building their own block tower. they are participating in ________ play.

• associative
• onlooker
• cooperative
• parallel

Explanation:

Analyze the scenario

The scenario describes two children sitting across from each other, each building their own separate block tower. They are playing side-by-side with similar materials but are not actively interacting, sharing a common goal, or working together on a single structure.

Identify the stage of play

According to Mildred Parten's stages of play:

• Parallel play occurs when children play adjacent to each other with similar toys, but do not try to influence or actively engage in each other's behavior.
• Associative play involves children playing together with similar materials but without a shared goal or formal organization.
• Cooperative play involves organized activity with a shared goal and division of labor.
• Onlooker play is when a child watches others play but does not join in.

Since they are building their own separate towers next to each other, this is parallel play.

Answer:

• associative
• onlooker
• cooperative
• parallel (Correct answer)
