When I pretend to be a firefighter and police officer my brain makes learning connections to:
– strength, balance, and large muscle coordination (legs, torso and arms)
– use energy in a constructive way
– use concepts of speed, direction and location
– negotiate and take turns
– solve problems
– develop self-confidence, as skills are mastered
When I play the role of the dispatcher, my brain makes learning connections to:
– express myself using words
– experiment with different adult roles
– solve social problems through negotiation with others
– sort and organize play things
– improvise and use things in a symbolic way to represent something else (abstract thinking)
– carry out ideas with the cooperation of others
– exercise imagination and creativity
– solve social problems through negotiation with others (Teamwork)
– follow the development of thoughts and ideas in the plot of a story
– predict outcomes based on a sequence of events
– appreciate different cultures and languages
When I play with the fire truck and the fire hose, my brain makes learning connections to:
– concepts of shape, size, length and location, all reading and math skills
– create and repeat patterns; a math skill
– exercise imagination
– express ideas
– cooperate with others
