Many people often think of play as children running around the playground, climbing on the jungle gym, or shooting some hoops. However, this physical play is not the only type of play that children need. Dramatic or pretend play is a critical component in the development of young children. This course explores the significance of dramatic play and explains how educators can better organize the dramatic play center in their classrooms. Additionally, it includes unique ideas for pretend play that can be used. 

Learning Outcomes:

• Describe the areas of learning the dramatic play center supports
• Explain the steps that should occur when preparing the dramatic play center
• Tell how to arrange the dramatic play area
• Explain the teacher’s role while engaging in dramatic play with children

**  A special thank you to Erika Booth, BA Ed for developing the curriculum for this topic. **
