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.
