My emerging play stage Stage 4 Imitating and Pretending The development of imitation and imaginative pretend play contributes to a child’s awareness of herself and of others. It helps the child make connections with others and the world. The child plays pretend games where she is pretending to do what she normally does, such as go to sleep, eat something, do her hair and share pretend food. Teddies, dolls and real people are usually partners in this type of play. Children can dress up and imitate someone else, either a real person, or a character on TV. They like to utilize adult clothing and accessories. Pretend situations modelled on real life are acted out. A child can set out a blanket and make a picnic, or take some kitchen bowls and spoons to do some cooking. A child can imitate and pretend to be a driver in a car, a lawn mower man, a postman.
To encourage a child to connect with their world and the people in it you should think about the following points and keep them in mind as you help your child. • Talk to your child - Ask questions about what they are doing, who they are and why are they doing things a certain way. • Show your child what to do- Act out ideas that your child can copy. Imitate songs and actions on TV and help your child to do the actions too. • Provide suitable toys and dressing up clothes- Toys that are small versions of household equipment, such as kitchen utensils, cups and plates. You can also provide things such as small vacuum cleaners, lawn mowers and garden equipment. • Join in with the pretending - Children really enjoy sharing their pretend cups of tea and biscuits. If your child is dressed as Spider Man, call your child, “Spider Man”, or “Your Majesty” for a queen.
