Early years - Role play teaching resources
Role play is a crucial part of learning that touches on most curriculum areas. It gives children understanding of the world around them through acting out roles of adults that they see in everyday life.
Using resources from this fabulous collection children can practise mark-making by filling out forms at the doctor, practise number recognition by dialling for a take-away and by pricing goods in a shop, learn what jobs people do in a Post Office, book an appointment at the vet and take details from a 999 call. You’ll also find some inspired, creative and detailed planning, fabulous flashcards, photos and topic words covering a variety of popular topics.
