One is an Ant

different creatures like a tiny ant, a tall giraffe, a swimming fish
and a hopping bunny. Reciting the rhyme and doing the role play will
help children to develop their language skills and creativity.

A basket and blanket, paper cups and plates, dolls
and teddy bears and some playdough to shape into foods are all the

Create a Dress Up Day, to find ideas children can use for role playing
stories or day to day experiences. Dramatic play is an important way
for children to make sense of the many things that happen in their
world.

Try playing a simple game of charades. Take turns dramatizing familiar
actions like brushing your teeth, cooking scrambled eggs, making a
phone call or drawing a picture. Children will use their reasoning
skills as they play this game and develop creative thinking.

The next time you are playing outside, collect some
rocks, branches and leaves. Simple props like these, when added to
children’s play with plastic dinosaurs encourages them to invent
their own dinosaur world and to make up unique stories about how
dinosaurs once lived.
