Family - Dramatic Play
The spontaneous, self-initiated make-believe play of children provides them with the opportunity to use new concepts, language and symbols to interact with others. Reliving experiences and experimenting through role-play helps children to develop their self-concept, their understanding of situations and respect for others.
When I dress-up and pretend play, I am:
- Practicing to understand and master adult roles
- Symbolically using materials in meaningful ways
- Practicing math and language skills
- Organising and using ideas
