Teaching Strategies
Encourage children to help decide how to set up the pretend play area. Together, make a list of props to follow through on themes.
Join in with the children when you’re invited. Look for opportunities to facilitate relationships or imaginations by playing a minor role. Have a cup of "hot, fragrant tea." If you "hear a baby," mention that it sounds like "a hungry cry." Suggest extensions for play, and then gracefully bow out as children pick up from there.
