IJP children are very busy playing in the dramatic play area. In our dramatic play area we have a kitchen with a sink, stove and play food, we have the dress up closet with different outfits for the children to choose from and we have the babies with the crib and a little stage for the children to rest or act on.
There were two different games, or role playing going on. Asher, Eden and Jonah were playing "astronauts” and they were in their spaceship. Asher tried to get rid of aliens that invaded their ship; with the help of computer system,
he said,
"do you see them, let’s make them disappear”.
Jonah (the dog pet) said,
"I will press the buttons".
Eden enthused, "lets go to the window they are outside".
Then she added “now I will check the gadgets are not broken because I am the mommy” and opened the c.d. player to check if the ship is fine.
Vivian and Luba were playing sisters. Vivian says, "we are pretending we are going to sleep”
then Luba hurt her hand like Vivian, "I need a cast like my friend ". The children like to act out
different roles and a lot of the roles are inspired by what they see and experience at home with
parents and family members or at school.
The children talk about what they are doing, the social interaction and collaboration with
other children is one of the most important parts of dramatic play.
