Here are a few things your child is learning when "playing" in our house centre
Dramatic play
Leadership
and organizational skills
Co-ordination (fine and gross motor)
Experience
with role playing
Self-confidence
Opportunity
to read and record information (grocery lists, menus, labels, recipes,)
Imagination
and creativity
Oral
language development
Planning and
decision making
Expression
of feelings
Classification,
organization, matching, estimating and sorting (ex. Dishes, food, clothing)
The class decided they wanted to turn our house centre into a restaurant. First we talked about what we need to create a restaurant (A sign, food, dishes, table, chairs, menus, paper and pencils to take orders, money etc). What roles there are in a restaurant (waiter/waitress, cook, customers etc). Then we voted on what we wanted to name the restaurant. The majority voted The Boys and Girls Restaurant. So off they went to make a welcome sign and menus.
Unfortunately, we don't have many pictures of the children in the restaurant for privacy reasons but they sure did have some fun!
