games have rules that are set up ahead of time. Free play doesn't have rules, so it lets kids be more creative. If the kids are creative it will help kids brains develop.

Freedom play

play without any specific learning objective, allowing them the freedom to create, explore, and discover without the barrier of predefined

Teachers can also work with students who have different skill levels at the same time. Longer classes let teachers divide the class into groups and give individual help. This keeps more students interested and stops them from getting bored and getting into trouble."
