Answer 1

According to George Herbert Mead, when children begin to take the perspective of a generalized other in their games, they are learning to understand what kind of behavior is expected of them  or what kind of behavior is appropriate in a  social setting. By taking on different roles in their game-play, children are learning to see the perspective of the other.
