description Play routines are often recognised as important contexts of the interpretation as well as production of actions in studies of child discourse. Participation in peer group activities has also been said to have a positive influence on children's acquisition of a second language. In this study, some Malaysian pre-school children were observed as they played different games.

While most previous research has focused on individual "access strategies" and their outcomes for group participation, the focus of this study is on the collaborative work in such interactions as children attempt to control play.
