Games: Symbolic games / Pretended play

They are extremely important for development and language.

The first step is for your child to have objects act out pretend actions 

A few ideas for symbolic playing:

• Dollhouses / Castles. We can work the daily routines, if the person living in the house gets visits, goes to work, etc.
• Animal farms. We can imagine how is the day for the animal, if the animal has friends, eats, sleeps. What noises an animal does. If the farmer is taking care of the animal, etc.
• Tea parties. Enjoying a good cup of imaginary tea!
• Shopping game. With maybe a basket and plastic food

We can help the games with pictures, songs, etc.
