Pick of the Week: Hooray for Play! Leading Learners Along the Path to Play

Pretend play offers children an opportunity for perspective taking, problem solving, cooperation, social emotional skill acquisition and language development. Children learn through their experiences and what better way to engage in the largest possible array of activities than through pretend play? Hooray For Play! is a multi-use deck of 31 beautifully hand-drawn cards that can be implemented initially by parents and educators as an instructional tool and later used by learners independently. An additional card offers suggestions for use that guides users through creative steps in reinforcing learning and play skills.

Hooray for Play! breaks down the components of the 31 individual play schema cards into the three organized sections that provide a memorable framework for socio-dramatic play. The Do! Section explains the various roles, Say!! outlines possible scripted statements by the involved actors and Play!!! offers suggestions for props and set-up.

It is still summer, so let’s have fun!
