The dramatic play center is a favorite in any developmentally appropriate kindergarten classroom. Here, students can reenact everyday life through play and imagination. Dramatic play teaches and encourages expressive language. Children are motivated to communicate their wishes to their peers and therefore must learn to speak from the perspective of their pretend roles. Dramatic play is often a very comfortable place for children who are shy or withdrawn to participate in a group. I am hoping to complete my Dramatic Play area by providing a few essential items: a child sized table with 2 chairs and two dolls. These items will encourage pretend play and provide children with the opportunity to practice taking care of others by taking care of the dolls. Children pretending may just look like “playing”, it is integral to the developmental learning process. It should be encouraged, and children need lots of opportunities to engage.
