Popis:	[EN] Games are an ideal mechanism to design educational activities with preschool children. Moreover, an analysis of current kindergarten curricula points out that playing and games are an important basis for children development. This paper presents a review of works that use games for kindergarten instruction and analyses their underlying technologies. In addition, in this work we present future challenges to be faced for each technology under consideration focusing on the specific needs and abilities these very demanding users have. The end goal is to outline a collection of future research directions for educators, game designers and HCI experts in the area of game-based kindergarten instruction supported by new technologies. This work received financial support from Spanish MINECO (projects TIN2010-20488 and TIN2014-60077-R), from Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV-FE-2014-24), and from GVA (ACIF/2014/214).
