Working on the “Remedial Educational Game” presentation as part of the seminar “Remedial Educational Intervention I” encouraged me to continue working on this topic in this paper. The subject of games is very extensive and cannot be dealt with without specific questions. With this paper, I would like to give a little insight into the "phenomenon of play" and show its possibilities in curative education intervention. The starting point for this are the theoretical foundations of the game, such as features, theories and classification. On the basis of these theoretical approaches, the importance of play in child development is presented in the following chapters. In this context, I will go into the changed play and living worlds of today and their possible effects on children. Then I turn my attention specifically to the play of mentally handicapped children. The conclusion of the work should be an illumination of the "curative pedagogical exercise treatment" according to OY and SAGI as a form of intervention. In my personal concluding remarks, however, I will include some critical reflections on this concept.

Zusammenfassung der Kapitel (Chapter Summaries)
The first chapter introduces the topic of play and its vastness, highlighting the need for a specific question to effectively explore it. It sets the stage for the subsequent chapters by outlining the work's objectives, which include exploring theoretical foundations of play, its importance in child development, and its specific application in curative education intervention.
The second chapter delves into the theoretical foundations of play. It examines the term "game" in everyday language, explores various early perspectives on the concept of "play," and analyzes key features of play, such as freedom, inner infinity, hypocrisy, ambivalence, unity, and presence. This chapter also provides an overview of game theories, including psychoanalytic, cognitive developmental, behavioral, motivational, socialization, role-theoretical, and phenomenological approaches. The chapter concludes with a classification of games by SCHENK-DANZINGER, categorizing them into functional, role-playing, construction, and rules-based games.
The third chapter focuses on the significance of play in child development. It delves into the forms of play and their developmental functions, exploring each category - functional, role-playing, construction, and rules-based games - in detail. The chapter then explores the impact of changes in play and life worlds on children and specifically examines the role of play in the development of mentally handicapped children.
The fourth chapter explores the "curative educational exercise treatment" (HPÜ) as a form of intervention. It provides a definition of HPÜ, outlines its methodology, and describes its implementation in practice, including considerations for space, material, person, orientation, and methodological-didactic aspects. It also addresses the selection and use of toys and play activities in HPÜ.
