Two 3-year-olds are playing in a hospital playroom together. One is working on a puzzle while the other is stacking blocks. Which type of play are these children exhibiting?

1. Cooperative play
2. Associative play
3. Parallel play
4. Solitary play


Correct Answer: 3
Rationale: Parallel play describes when two or more children play together, each engaging in their own activities. Cooperative play happens when children demonstrate the ability to cooperate with others and play a part in order to contribute to a unified whole. Associative play is characterized by children interacting in groups and participating in similar activities. In solitary play, a child plays alone.
