SUMMARY The free play of 109 children aged 3–4 was observed in 12 pre‐school centres, and assessed mi a number of scales. Most of the play measures were found to be age‐related; the major sex differences in play were in the choice of play material and fantasy theme. There were correlations between some of the play measures and the children's unstandardised verbal and non‐verbal test scores. The findings are discussed in relation to pre‐school educational practice.
