Pretend play gives language a context
Words like "please", "thank you", "one more" and "my turn" are easier to understand when children use them during play.
Children practice waiting and turn-taking
Tea party or shop play gives children a reason to wait, give simple instructions and listen to another person's response.
Imagination is also a learning skill
When children create a story, they are organizing ideas. This supports speaking confidence and simple problem solving.
Start with simple scripts
Parents or teachers can begin with short phrases: "Would you like tea?" "Thank you." "Whose turn?" Over time, let the child extend the story.
