Play Can Help Strengthen Communication and Social Skills

Help me give my students the Melissa And Doug Chef's Kitchen. Kitchen role play is an exciting activity where my students can use their imagination, strengthen communication & social skills that are being taught during school counseling.

My Project

Dramatic play is an essential component when it comes to the development of a child. This type of play helps a child develop skills including communication/language, cognitive, and social skills. It also helps the child learn how to problem-solve while improving a child’s self esteem. These skills are definitely important to learn while in elementary school but it doesn’t stop there, we want our students to be able to use these skills throughout their lifetime.

All of my students love to play and how amazing is it that they will learn and improve various skills while having fun!

This project would benefit all those students who receive mandated counseling services. While each child is working on their own individual goal, the end result will definitely be a common one, skills will be improved that will help them in their lifetime.

Help me give my students the materials they need to actively experiment with the social and emotional roles of real life.

The play kitchen and accessories will be loved by every student that visits the school counseling office. Thanking you in advance.
