Game is not only a form of entertainment but also the best way of learning, children learn to cope with various situations they will face throughout their lives.
Game of marbles (fingernail ball) are excellent examples of children's game with rules, they are playable by 6 years of age. In history of human species, formal game appeared as a result of sedentary need for mental and physical development. In formal game the object of each game is defined and governed by the rules themselves, not representations. Thanks to this ability to set rules and play within the species has been able to build key game such as democracy, religion and science.
Game is a necessary activity for humans to attach great importance to social sphere, since it allows testing certain social behaviors; in turn be used to acquire and develop intellectual, motor, and affective capacities tool and all this must be done so willingly, feeling no obligation of any kind, and all activities required to have time and space to do it.

Mammals are characterized by an evolved brain, long childhood, parental care, nursing pups, hunt group, social division and non-genetic work. Mammals play to hunt in a group, define hierarchies, exploration, division of labor, among others. Interaction between mammals (dogs, cats, water, primates) is based on imitation and exploration by trial and error. In some mammals there is a total lack of symbolic play.
Symbolic play is made on representations and not on real things. The cave paintings are the first example of symbolic play. Prehistoric man used them to act on the animals through their representations. Symbolic play all normal children is clearly present from 2 years of age. Symbolic play is present when a child picks up a rock and play with it like a car. This child is playing with the car, not the stone.
