Games serve as a vital and effective approach for facilitating early learning and comprehensive development among children, and are extensively utilized as indispensable teaching tools in teaching activities within kindergartens. This research centers on guided games situated precisely in the middle ground between free play and direct teaching, and delves deep into the construction status and long-standing existing issues of adult scaffolding in guided games across various countries. By meticulously analyzing the current state of scaffolding construction in different nations, a comprehensive and detailed comparison of practical cases from various countries is conducted regarding the problems in three crucial key aspects: the role of adults in scaffolding construction, cues, and participation, thereby uncovering the significant and far-reaching application potential of adult scaffolding in guided games. There exist notable and distinct disparities in the implementation of scaffolding among different countries, and it is necessary to provide appropriate and precisely tailored support based on children’s zone of proximal development.
