Dramatic Play Ideas for kids

Preschool-aged children love to play, wear costumes, and pretend! Dramatic play supports literacy and it allows us to support our children and encourage their ideas.

What can children learn while engaged in dramatic play?

The list of ways that children grow and develop while engaged in rich dramatic play is infinite.

• Children develop their imaginations. They learn to be creative and think out of the box.
• Students expand their vocabularies. They engage in authentic language development— talking to each other, listening, asking questions, using words and conversation for real purposes.
• Children practice negotiating, sharing, and taking turns.
• Early learners get practical experience with sorting, classification, and organizing.
• Children increase their ability to self-regulate.

Children expand their attention spans while they plan play activities that last increasingly longer periods of time.
