As young children take part in drama, they gain many benefits
- Improved literacy skills - reading, writing, and speaking.
- Development of imagination and aesthetic awareness.
- Independent and critical thinking and increased ability to solve problems.

The teachers will build on the interests the children express through dramatic play. For example, ask open-ended questions such as: ‘What are you going to cook?’
Include reading and writing material in the dramatic play areas to increase literacy during play
Outcome
1. Children will re-enact other common everyday experiences.
2. By asking open-ended questions the teacher allows the child to direct dialogue and ideas, but supports the play by developing the program activities initiated by the child
