There are five types of play: solitary play (child plays alone without regard for those around him or her), onlooker play (child observes others playing and may talk to them, may alter his or her own play, or may continue playing as he or she was doing), parallel play (playing with the same materials and items, but not playing together), associative play (play together in a peer group, but in a loosely organized manner), and cooperative play (assume roles in games, games have goals, and rely on each other to continue and progress).
