摘要：There are misconceptions in some of the Luhya community in Busia County in Western Kenya on the value of play in children’s general development. Some of the parents in Busia County find no substantial value of play. They see play as a mere noise making and waste of children’s time of engagement in a more academic activities such as reading, writing, and solving mathematical problems while in nursery or class one. This theoretical article explains the value of play in children’s language skills and gives some suggestions on what educationists and county governments in the Western Kenya should do to develop positive attitude among parents toward children’s play.
