Dramatic Play

Help me give my students a grocery store to encourage dramatic play in our center time.

My Project

I need a dramatic play center to encourage communication skills, play skills and imagination. Preschool students learn through playing.

This grocery store would encourage cooperative play and build relationships within the classroom.

My students need to pretend to play. Each month our dramatic play center changes and with this grocery store we could change it to a flower shop, a donut shop, a pizza shop...the pretend shops are endless with this piece of play equipment. My students love to play in centers and they take up a large part of the day. I need more materials to keep my students engaged and playing. Students learn taking turns, being respectful, sharing, and having fun with each other.
