Learning through imaginative play.

This week we are talking about our community. As one of our activities to practice vocabulary, we dressed up as different people in our community.  We had a police officer, handyman, doctor, patient, chef, sales person and some firemen. The students had to cooperate and play together. By doing this, children learn how to take turns, share responsibility, and creatively solve problems. They all had fun pretending to be someone else and we had some very interesting stories unfold.
