The main components of a role-playing game:
Plot is a series of events taking place in a given area. For example, the game “family”, “doctor”, “store”. The main source for the game plot is the surrounding world, the activities of adults and peers, plots from books, cartoons and films (playing Iron Man, Winx Fairies, etc.). The variety of plots increases as the child becomes acquainted with new aspects of life. The plot reveals the content of the game.
The content of the game is what children highlight as the main point of activity and relationships between the participants in the plot, i.e. those actions that people (characters) perform in certain life situations. For example, a “mom” goes to the store to buy groceries, where she selects the products, puts them in a cart, pays the “salesperson” at the checkout, etc.
A role is a set of models and actions that are played out by children in the plot.
