Role play or Dramatic play has so many benefits for a child and their development, including:

• Fosters opportunities for social interaction, encouraging collaboration in play (LO 3.1 ‐ Children become strong in their social and emotional wellbeing).
• Develops communication and language skills (LO 5.1 – Children interact verbally and non‐verbally with others for a range of purposes.)
• Provides opportunities to develop their motor skills as they dress dolls and manipulate objects in the kitchen (1.2 Children develop their emerging autonomy, inter-dependence, resilience and sense of agency).
