In today's hectic life, children have less and less time to play spontaneously. Although to a lesser extent it is still used. They are permanent and each generation complements, adapts and changes them in their own way. This work is oriented towards children's spontaneous play, game development and the impact of the game on the child and its development. For this paper, research has been carried out how gender influences the choice of preschool children's game. Through play, children develop, get to know themselves and their opportunities, make friends and gain experiences for further life. Many factors affect the game and its development, some of which are age, gender, peers, environment, interaction and adults. The only thing that changes in the process is the way and the type of game. In order for the game to develop smoothly, it is necessary that the environment is stimulating, rich and allows the child to freely express and experiment in the game. The game changes as the child grows, so from a simple functional game in which simple muscle movements are repeated, the game turns into a magical, imaginative world full of possibilities.
