Research on the design of gender recognition games for preschool children based on Piaget's pre-arithmetic stage theory

With the development of the Internet and digital technology, preschool children are increasingly exposed to the Internet, bringing new opportunities to game design for education. Children in Piaget's pre-operational stage (2-7 years old) develop symbolic representation schemas through various means, and this stage is crucial for the development of children's gender cognition. This paper explores the importance of gender recognition in this stage. It proposes game design strategies, models, and effect analysis based on this theory, aiming to provide an effective approach for gender recognition education in children.
