Play is the most important element of learning and getting to know the environment for a child. It is the first form that a child encounters from early childhood. Precisely for this purpose, spontaneous play plays an important role. With it, the child can express himself most freely. The reason for this is that the child has the right to choose any situation he wants to relive through imaginary play. Through play, the child learns to express his emotions, attitudes, the level of development reached, and knowledge gaps that the educator can work on are also visible. The individuality of each child is emphasized. Gender plays a big role in choosing the game itself. With the stereotypical division of male and female games, the child is oriented accordingly from very early childhood. Due to the environment in which the child resides, divisions between desirable and undesirable behaviors related to choosing a game are imposed on him. Girls are considered more emotional, they learn the role related to motherhood, while boys are more aggressive and action games are more common. The aim of this paper is to investigate what experts say about the role of gender when it comes to spontaneous play. There is quite a number of papers and books on this topic, but each comes to the same conclusion. In addition to the literature, I conducted research on a representative group in order to gain some knowledge and draw conclusions from the real situation. By this, we can conclude that our conservative society strives for external differences even among children's play. Such division and choice of games and players is learned. Which is clearly evident from the following; The child just doesn't know the reason why girls play with dolls and boys play with cars, however, they are automatically divided because that's how it's supposed to be.
