Tools for Schools
- Children may benefit from being taught and modelled imaginative play sequences sometimes referred to as structured play.
- Familiar adults introduce simple pretend play, using familiar objects to model new play
- Role play and drama, use of props (e.g. puppets hats materials), acting out familiar stories
- Plan time for partner play; be a playful partner for the child
- Duplicating favourite resources – one for the adult and one for the child
- Modelling; providing a narrative for the child’s play
- Story telling
- Use of techniques such as Helicopter Stories to engage children in making up their own stories
- Singing and improvisation
