Pocket of preschool dramatic play

Check out this giant dramatic play round-up of my favorite pretend center ideas for preschool, pre-k, and kindergarten.

The Dramatic play center is a place students can go to pretend, imagine, and be creative. Students can pretend to be anyone and do anything! This is powerful for our little learners. It is a place that promotes high-level thinking, problem solving, turn taking, and is a rich place for teaching vocabulary. Students can learn and develop skills in all learning domains (language, literacy, math, science, social studies, fine motor, gross motor, and social skills) through pretend play.
