Abstract

This chapter addresses the use of play-based learning as a means to boost meaningful learning. This work aims to provide reasons to back up the suitability of motor games as a pedagogical resource in early childhood education. By this means, the authors aspire to help teaching students and actual teachers to become aware of the importance of getting familiar with the pedagogical basis of motor games in order to apply them effectively from the early education stages. A systematic review has been performed to tackle this objective, and it has revealed cognitive, linguistic, physical, and socio-affective benefits of implementing games for instructive purposes. Apart from that, both teachers and university teaching students have completed a survey to measure their opinion on this issue, and the results show that they regard motor games as powerful pedagogical tools.
