In this study unit we learn how important musical play is, in the foundation phase because it provides opportunities for children to make sense of their own world and it helps them process things they have heard and sang along to. It makes it easier for learners to remember things and they become actively involved in a play, and that shows that they enjoy what they are learning. Children play involves a lot of music, it gives learners a chance to explore sounds, to sing along and even dance to the music and that is what develops children musicality. Children are able to recognize their talents, some can know how to play instruments, others can see that they are gifted vocally and they can interpret environmental sounds. Musical play makes learners understand rhythm, tempo, melody and dynamics on a deeper depth because there is no play without those elements they are the core elements of musical play. musical play sets the foundation for the development of critical social and emotional knowledge and skills. Through play, children learn to create connections with their peers. They learn how important it is to share, work as a team without having conflicts or find ways to deal with conflict. Play also teaches children leadership as well as group skills.
