My Project

Every year my pre-kindergarten students love to participate in dramatic play. This play allows them to learn cognitive and language concepts by pretending and acting out scenarios. It also helps to teach empathy, understanding, social skills and creativity.

Engaging in creative dramatic play themes is the best way that children learn in pre-kindergarten.

Dramatic play encourages students to interact with their peers, collaborate and experiment with their imaginations in a safe environment. These materials will give my pre-kindergarteners an opportunity to express their feelings and test out situations based on their own experiences.
