In this episode of the Kindergarten Cafe Podcast, we discuss the importance of having a dramatic play center in the classroom. Dramatic play allows children to try on different roles, understand social situations, and promotes language development. It also integrates math and literacy, and encourages children to take ownership of their learning. We share ideas for setting up a simple dramatic play center and discuss challenges with organizing materials.
In this episode I share:
- Why we want to have dramatic play in our classrooms
- The benefits of dramatic play for our students
- How you can set up dramatic play in your classroom
