Not only does dramatic play support creativity and self-expression, but it also helps children learn real-life and social skills. Dramatic Play is any play where kids create assigned roles and act out scenarios. In the museum room, we are encouraging structured play. This is the kind of play where there are scenarios. The following are the scenarios for the museum room:

1. Community Helper role-play costumes with tools to explore.
