The total number of 333 parents in Malaysia who had children aged of three years old and below had participated in this study. The questionnaire was constructed according to the game perception scales. This study adopted descriptive analysis approach and the findings were recorded using frequency and percentage. The findings revealed that the majority of children under the age of three years old spent approximately 2 hours daily in structured games which equal to 27% (n=91). Meanwhile, the time allocated by the children when playing unstructured games was 3 hours daily rank roughly up to 27% (n=90) and 2 hours 28% (n=93) was utilized daily by the children on screen time.
